FLEMINGTON
the dusty corridors of Holyrood, and entered a
room from which came the ring of men’s voices.
A party of officers in uniform got up as he came
in. Some were playing cards. He went up to
one of the players and took those he held from
between his fingers.
“Give me your hand, Walden,” said he, “and
for God’s sake get us a bottle of wine. Damn me,
but I hate old women ! They should have their
tongues cut out.”

| Description | Violet Jacob (1863-1946) was born into an aristocratic family who had lived at the House of Dun near Montrose since the 15th century. Her classic novel of the 1745 Jacobite rising, 'Flemington” (1911), was highly regarded by John Buchan and is still in print. Jacob had a deep appreciation of the Angus dialect and countryside, and this is evident in her celebrated Scots language poetry in volumes such as 'Song of Angus' (1915). |
