My story was not written to be a chronicle of a 50 something man's return to Scotland after living in England for 30 years, but that is how it turned out. That man knew that there would have been many changes since he left, and that there was every chance that he would fail to fit in second time around.The first part is about the nature of his transition, but where he came to live was on a moor above the sea, a broad sandy bay, and he was immediately assailed by the nature of and in the place. So, he had to learn, and he learned from first principles, by observation, which he tried to detail in the pages herein.He also had a romantic notion of the hills of Scotland, that he would climb them, but that was not so easy, even though he did have some successes. These are also chronicled in the early part of the book.As he merged deeper into the place he began to meet people, not always of his choosing, but people who had things to say, and things to say to him. The major influence on him was the historical sense of place created for him, and by him, through these cronies. The world was a sea of stories which situated he and them in this place, this time, and in past time. The stories, some of them, also entered into the mythological realm, the place of out common ancestors.In some ways garnering these stories was an act of reclamation, some of them even being manifestly true.Around these larger stories a cast of characters play out their own lives, within and without each other, coming together, parting, fissioning off, heading for different pastures, where different adventures and lives awaited.But the idea is to create an idea of Pithaven, within which these characters interact, as was found by James when he returned there, accidentally you might say, but turned into staying, looking to find out if he still belonged. So, he was re-examining his sense of home. And the ending provides a kind of resolution to this, perhaps a new myth in the making.It is intentionally multi-generic, in the spirit of American authors such as William Least Heat Moon, or, of Ireland, Tim Robinson, and his works on Connemara (where indeed the action could not help but go). It draws on Scottish tropes, which I hope that you will recognise, ranging across the ages. It is also an attempt to collect together the older tribes of Scotland, now merged into a more common run of life, recognisable around the post industrial world.In the process of James' adapting he comes to new kinds of understanding for himself, even of himself. How that is worked through you will have to read on, to find out. I hope that you find it at least interesting. Good luck!
