The Battle For Duncragglin (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Mr. McRae put down his reading glasses. “A promise is a promise. But let me finish up my paperwork, then we can have lunch and head on out to the ruins.” “Hooray!” Willie whooped. He and Annie threw together some ham and cheese rolls, grabbed a few apples, and persuaded Mr. McRae to let them pack them up and make it a picnic. “Fine, fine.” He laughed. “Such enthusiasm! What's with the lot of ye?” Since Duncan had taken the van, they all had to squeeze into Mr. McRae's little car: Annie up front, with the picnic basket on her lap, and Alex squeezed awkwardly between Willie and Craig in the back, each insisting on having a window seat. The car looked so old that Alex doubted it would start, but it sputtered, coughed, and revved up. They rounded a bend and saw the battered outline of the castle rising up above the cliffs. Even in the midday sun, the ruins looked bleak and desolate. Mr. McRae turned onto a grassy plateau and parked overlooking the sea. There was no paved car park, ticket booth, or guided tour.
