    About this ebook

    Season 3, Episode 1. Clan: Calum’s Country - A Bitesize 1 hour Read.

    Calum Maclean and Big John Mackintosh have returned to Scotland, to find it under the heel of the English with its people broken and beaten by barbaric treatment and unjust laws.

    Their hope to stay out of trouble vanishes the moment they return to Moy Hall and Lady Anne sends them on another mission. To save the English General Richmond from the hangman.

    It should be a simple rescue, but the hand of Colonel York reaches from the grave. The English are stealing everything of value. But if they are allowed to take the cattle, the Clan will starve.

    Though opposition of any sort will mean deportation or death, Calum and John will not look away.

    A new adventure has begun.

      Calum’s Country

      Even as Calum left Moy Hall and headed south on the main road, he knew that there was little chance of catching the coach carrying General Richmond before it reached Aberdeen and the ship waiting to take him to London. To hang. Three days ride, perhaps four if the coach they were using wasn’t much good, but they were a day ahead, and even the fine thoroughbreds he and John were riding couldn’t make up that time. Not without killing the animals, and he wouldn’t do that. Not for an Englishman, even one as noble as the general.

      He slowed the mare down and waited for John to ride up beside him.

      Aye, we’ll not catch them like this, John said, then leaned over to look at his young friend. I know that look. What’s in your head?

      Calum smiled quickly. They’d been together too long.

      I’m thinking the coach will be driven by Englishmen.

      Aye, I’d say you’re right, the English being who they are, they’d not trust a Scot with such an important task as transporting one of their own generals to his death.

      Then they’ll stop at the best inn they can find and eat and drink their fill at the crown’s expense.

      John smiled. And Angus will drop on their heads like the wrath of god.

      Calum’s smile faded. Aye, he will, won’t he?

      And that bothers you?

      Aye, Angus is a brave man, braver than most, but he’s only one man. And there’ll be four or five English.

      That’s nay a fair fight. John grinned. They need more English.

      For you m’be, but Angus is a Black Watch officer.

      John nodded once. Aye, so he’ll be soft.

      I’m thinking.

      He’ll try anyway. It’ll never enter his stubborn head to let them take the man.

      What they’re doing is wrong. That’s all he’ll see. He’ll not walk away and let them be.

      Like you would?

      Calum gave him another smile. One more than John had seen in many a month. Since the bloodbath at Drummossie Moor.

      So what will you be doing about the general?

      Calum urged his chestnut mare into a steady trot. I’m thinking Angus will wait for dawn before he does anything…

      Stupid?

      Aye, stupid.

      Something we would never do.

      If we ride through the night, Calum said, ignoring his friend’s sarcasm, we might just get there before he does anything.

      Stupid, John said.

      Like getting himself killed, Calum said.

      John’s smile vanished and he leaned forward to pat his stallion’s neck. There was a long ride ahead. But not as long as he thought.

      The coach had stopped at the first decent inn on the Aberdeen Road, so it was only a little after midnight when they rode into the yard and dismounted next to the coach.

      Calum pointed at the inn door, then at John and imitated walking with his fingers.

      John watched him for a moment with his head tilted quizzically. "So you want me to go in there while you go around
