Bewitched by the ghosts of his past, Peter Angus Gillies embarks on a journey from his mundane job in Canada to the West Cost of Scotland, where he is embroiled in a hunt for lost Jacobite gold - a thrilling story of adventure, mystery and romance.

A small inheritance and a letter from his grandfather mark the beginnings of a journey that leads Peter Angus Gillies from his mundane job in Canada to Ardnish, the land of his forebears, on the rugged and remote west coast of Scotland.
