"Kirsty Howard leaves China when her parents die and seeks out her grandfather in Scotland.  It is a strange world she finds at Cluain: an arrogant and lonely old man running one of the finest whisky distilleries in the world; two women to look after the large and rambling house, one young and confiding, the other ageing and suspicious; Callum Sinclair, at first a shadowy figure, riding the moors on a pony, with his dog at heel and his falcon on his wrist; while up the strath Sir Gavin Campbell and his beautiful wife lead a life in sharp contrast to the spartan regime at Cluain."
