Waverley Volume 1 Chapter XV - A Creagh, and Its Consequences

from The Walter Scott Library · host Sir Walter Scott

In which Captain Waverley discovers the uneasy tension prevailing at Tully-Veolan after a nocturnal raid by Highland Caterans has driven off the estate's milch cows, revealing the fraught relations and complex customs of protection-money paid to powerful chieftains. The episode gently unfolds the paradox of lawlessness entwined with honour among the clans, through conversations that paint a vivid picture of a land where ancient feuds and modern authority war in the shadow of the hills.
