The Laird of Norlaw: A Scottish Story is a novel written by Margaret Oliphant, also known as Mrs. Oliphant. Set in Scotland, the book tells the story of a young woman named Gertrude, who inherits the Norlaw estate from her father. However, she soon discovers that the estate is in debt and in need of repair. As Gertrude tries to restore Norlaw to its former glory, she faces many challenges, including opposition from her male relatives who believe that a woman should not be in charge of the estate. She also finds herself torn between two suitors: the charming and wealthy Mr. Menteith and the rugged and honest farmer, Adam. The novel explores themes of gender roles, love, and family dynamics in 19th century Scotland. It also delves into the social and economic issues of the time, including the struggles of the working class and the impact of industrialization on rural communities. Overall, The Laird of Norlaw is a captivating tale of a young woman's journey to find her place in a world that is resistant to change. It is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and Scottish literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
