About The Pride of the Clan
After her father, chief of Clan MacTavish, dies at sea in a storm, Marget MacTavish takes charge of the clan on an island off the west of Scotland. She and the young fisherman Jamie Campbell become engaged in a traditional ceremony. Jamie's old nurse writes the Countess of Dunstable to confess that she once reported Jamie dead so she could raise him herself. The countess and her husband, an earl, push Marget to break the match, and Marget orders Jamie away. She drifts out in a rotten boat. David Pitcairn rings the alarm, Jamie takes a power boat from his mother's yacht and pulls her off, and his parents accept the marriage.
