We come from the mist, and to the mist we will return . . .
A memorial service witnessed in the historic Black Wood of Rannoch sets Rebecca Connolly on the trail of a baffling story. Fergus MacGregor told people he was going to Pitlochry for the day. He was never seen again. Five years later his deeply religious mother stills holds a memorial in the place Fergus loved because of its connections to the outlawed MacGregor clan, the Children of the Mist.
What happened that day in this last vestige of the great Caledonian forest
Does a family feud hold the key Does an old recluse have the answers
Or is there something malevolent hiding among the ancient trees
