Iain Lang goes on a walking and photographing holiday to his
beloved Scotland. Finding a preserved peat body he is drawn into
the world of the hunter-gatherer, Ulfric, who after a long 'hunt'
persuing an unknown visitor in the dark finds himself drawn towards
his greatest fears and encounters a spirit who sends him to the
heavens. Re-born as Ruaraidh, in the lands of Glenelg, he travels
to the great cattle tryst at Crieff where, despite it being a
cattle market it seems - to a young drover accompanying him - to be
hell itself. Ruaraidh hires himself out to the Yorkshire cattle
dealer, George Dun, who purchases his herd and travels to
Northallerton. On his return trip, and having found himself
inexorably drawn to a special and ancient little shieling in a
remote Glen, he arrives by Loch Lyon where he despoils an ancient
Pagan shrine and encounters the wrath of the great Creatrix and
blue faced old hag, Cailleach Bheur, protector of All Hallows.
Iain, now back to 'reality' and home after his 'trip', finds his
computer infected with a distorted photograph of a blue mountain
gentian and one of his friends has begun acting very strangel
