regshoeHark! now the drums they beat again for all good soldiers, gentlemen...
Welcome back to the Flight of the Heron read-along! This week we read the first two proper chapters, and meet Keith Windham—and Keith meets Ewen Cameron.
As you'll have noticed, Broster is fond of including both Gaelic and Scots words in dialogue; this online Gaelic-English dictionary and this one for Scots may be of use if you'd like to look anything up.
Next week we will continue with chapters 3 and 4.

Glad you enjoyed the write-up and that it was helpful!
