THE OLD MUSIC: a Scottish novel

Who are the outsiders... and who still hear...THE OLD MUSIC by Alan McIntosh Brown

It is 1947and post-war Britain is rebuilding, both physically and morally. The small Scottish community of Glenfionn is the gateway to the glen of the same name, known in the ancient Gaelic language as The Crooked Glen of the Stones. Like other communities it has lost men to the war and is faced now with another hammer blow - the proposed destruction of much of the land to make way for a hydro-electricity scheme.

Against a background of superstition, folklore, morality and personal ambition, the novel charts the unstoppable march of progress and the winners and losers left in its wake. Who can save the glen from this twentieth-century plague and, in the final reckoning, who are the outsiders and who can still hear The Old Music?
