Catriona

Inside this edition

Every LitLab edition is illustrated from the text itself — the world of the book mapped, its people drawn, its scenes staged. 27 plates are open to everyone in this book; here are 8 of them.

• The world of Catriona, from Edinburgh and the Bass to Holland, Dunkirk and Paris.
• PILRIG, DEAN & THE LANG DYKESBeyond the city walls — counsel, courtship and surveillance cross open ground.
• A kingdom of promises — the novel's objects, places and pressures.
• The central cast: David, Catriona, Alan, James More, Prestongrange and Barbara Grant.
• David Balfour — The Conscience That Will Not Be Quiet.
• Catriona Drummond — The Highland Heart in Exile.
• David and Catriona beneath the dark city.
• David and Catriona speak urgently beside the Dean as sunset burns over the heather and Edinburgh lies beyond, the young pair divided by the danger surrounding her father.
