It’s 1788, and six-year-old Martha lives in a little stone house in Glencaraid, Scotland. Martha’s father is Laird Glencaraid, and the life of a laird’s daughter is not always easy for a lively girl like Martha. She would rather be running barefoot through the fields of heather than acting like a proper lady! But between lessons, Martha always finds time to play on the rolling Scottish hills.
