Jean and Jock are twins living in a small house at the edge of the woods in Glencairn. The laird is about to sell the property the family has lived on for generations, and this puts a damper on the twins' free time at the end of summer, since the schoolmaster is out ill.
With their old friend Sandy, and a new friend, Alan (visiting from England to recover from a bout with measles), Jock and Jean are near the stream one day, and they discover that the Laird's game warden is really a poacher. They declare the group of four "The Rob Roy Clan" and try to thwart the game warden's poaching. They find a secret hideout and after their daily chores are done, go about harassing the game warden/poacher. As summer draws to a close, and Alan must return home, the tale has a surprise ending. |
