Scottish fiction
23 April 2004
"Ian Maclaren" was the pseudonym used for fiction writing (Scottish fiction) by John Watson. This book (best seller 1895-fiction) is a collection of stories, set in the fictional village of Drumtochty. It is thought that the village of Drumtochty was based on Logiealmond, where Maclaren began his ministerial career. The picture that he painted of rural life is closer to nostalgia than reality. It does demonstrate the importance of the Church in every aspect of people's live at that time.
Fantastic Book,,, But not for Everyone!

My husband, Bill, has had this book for years and can't get enough of it. He keeps it on his nightstand. It has some wonderful, heartwarming stories from a village in old Scotland. If you are or know a minister... the stories make great illustrations for sermons. I have a hard time reading it because of the old Scottish dialect... but it is one of Bill's top 5 books!
