Author’s NoteScottish titles, unlike the English, if there is no son, can be inherited by a daughter.
The Countess of Seafield, whose father was killed in the war, succeeded her uncle as Chieftain of the Sutherland Clan. Her eldest son will, in due course, inherit the position from her.
The loyalty of the Clansmen of Scotland to their Chieftains to whom they still look for help and guidance is very touching and the Scot will dream of his homeland wherever he may be in the world.
In Canada, where nearly all the early British settlers were Scots, after several generations they still talk of Scotland as if they might return there at any moment.
A Scot is not only an adventurer, a builder, an innovator and explorer – he is also a survivor both physically and mentally.
