Editor’s note on spellings and punctuation: In keeping with its subject and principal characters, this book is written in a blend of Scots and English with some words and phrases of Gaelic – and occasionally other languages and/or dialects occur. For the purposes of clarity for the widest audience, words and phrases in Gaelic are italicised. This is to avoid any confusion for readers unfamiliar with the language by what might appear to be the indefinite article (in English) in common Gaelic phrases such as a ghràidh. Readers should not infer any other motives for the author’s or editor’s decisions on this subject.
