Wee Gillis lives in Scotland. As an orphan, and he spends half of each year with his mother's people in the lowlands, while the other half finds him in the highlands with his father's kin. In the lowlands he is taught to herd cattle, and in the rocky highlands he stalks stags from outcrop to outcrop. A quick study, he soon picks up what his elders can teach him, and yet is unprepared when the day comes for him to decide, once and for all, whether it will be the lowlands or the highlands that he will call his home.
