Description
Hamish McScabbard is a thrilling tale of marauding Vikings that your children will love! It was 848 AD in the land that would be known as Scotland. Two great forces - the Scotti and the Pict - enjoy a fragile truce which is threatened by the arrival of Ivor the Boneless and his marauding Vikings. The invasion would cause turmoil in the region, and shake the foundation of this land to its very core. Hamish McScabbard - the son of a powerful clan leader, could be all that stood in the way of Viking domination (with a bit of help from his friend, Tam) If Hamish failed in his quest, the land he called home would be no more.
