THE January issue of Scottish Field magazine is on sale now, both online and in shops.
“One of the great joys of this job is random encounters that spark stories or ideas that make the cut and – miraculously – end up in print,” explained editor Richard Bath.
“There are a million great untold stories out there, and it is surprising how often people relate some tale that is editorial gold.
“One such tale was told to me by Angus MacDonald, a successful Lochaber businessman and budding author.
“His contention is that his great-great-uncle was the inspiration for John Macnab, the John Buchan novel about poaching that has spawned the eponymous modern phenomenon.
“At first take it sounded deeply unlikely to be true, so I challenged Angus to prove it – which he duly did, complete with documentary evidence.
“It’s a cracking yarn, which has made a memorable piece.”
