Description
Malky Dalgleish and four Highland Scots arrive in South Sheels in November 1650 as indentured servants to work in the salt-panns. After Cromwell's victory at Dunbar, they had been marched from Dunbar to Durham in the infamous death march, with the survivors sold by General Haselrig to work in the colonies. In this story, five Scots lads face hardship and struggle in the harsh environment of the salt-panns. Malky and Davey form connections with local women, while Niall escapes to work on the keels. Dougie, the boy fifer, is taken into service due to his physical limitations, and Tomag distils his own usquebah. Their lives are marked by hardship, but also moments of resilience and survival in a challenging world.
