The Hays of Slains Castle

In an age when thousands of people are looking for their roots, The Hays of Slains Castle is a full length novel which looks at the lives of the ancestors of one Scottish Clan through historical fact and creative fiction.

The Battle of Bannockburn has been won and Gilbert Hay has been created High Constable of Scotland. With the title comes the dubious honour of owning Slains Castle. Perched on the edge of a cliff and jutting into the North Sea, the castle becomes the focus of the lives of Gilbert and his descendants until the staunchly Catholic Francis Hay, 9th Earl of Erroll, strikes out against the king.
