Hector, Hamish and Morag are taking part in the world famous Braemar Gathering and Highland Games. With a few hours to spare they head off to explore the forest, with no thought of how to get back.

About the Author

Writing has always been a passion of Christine's and she currently has four books in print with more projects planned for the future. Feel free to moo-mail her, Christine and Hector would love to hear from you.
