In July of 1304 Scotland found itself in the tightening grip of King Edward II of England. Central to this struggle, Stirling Castle stood in proud defiance at the headwaters of the River Forth which led deep into the highland strongholds. For the clans of Stirling it was a time of earnest struggle and sacrifice when the loyalty and bravery of the people would be pressed to the extreme. Throughout Scotland names like William Wallace and Robert Bruce found their place in the annals of time as the battle for The Red Lion Flag swept like wildfire through hills and valleys and across the moors.
As with all of history it is often the most insignificant of lives that shine the brightest and are soon forgotten. Though unacclaimed on the written page these shining many kindle a legacy of fire within the hearts of untold generations to come. The soul of this book was found in one such ‘small' life who stood shoulder to shoulder and raised the cry of defiance when silence would have swallowed the land. Her name was Janet Olifant.
Grandfather's Drum
The fire died low, casting a shadowy light on the walls of the lodge. Now and then a hickory knot exploded sending a flurry of sparks scurrying up into the darkness. Winter lay stretched out, covering the land in a great whiteness which blanketed the meadows and enwrapped the hills. Large flakes of snow drifted down, magically appearing out of the black expanse that had replaced the sky and stolen the stars. Night had brought with it no breeze; no wind to stir the pines and make them speak. There was only silence, not even the cry of the owl; only quiet and snow.
