from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which the solitary and ruined church of Saint Ninian, once revered and now forsaken, forms a sombre setting where superstition still clings amid the desolation of the sea-beaten coast, and the mysterious Norna of the Fitful-head appears engaged in uncanny rites that baffle belief. Here, Mertoun encounters this enigmatic figure whose cryptic prophecy draws him toward an unexpected journey to the Fair of Kirkwall, stirring both curiosity and melancholy in his usually reserved demeanour.
