Scotland, 1933... Recently ensconced at St. Saviours' University, young William Stanley MacFaddyen has desires to become a romantic poet, an author of historical adventure novels, and above all, a successful student. Unfortunately, Robert Burns' views on the "best laid plans of mice and men" soon prove to be correct. Starting badly when the puritanical dean of St. Saviours', MacKillick, orders him to cut his flowing hair, things quickly start to run out of control. Trying to escape reality by retreating into the world of his own novel, "The Sword of Lochglen", the two worlds of fact and fiction collide. And when he is introduced to St. Saviours' newly-arrived first lady lecturer, Dr. Jean MacKenzie, life becomes very complicated indeed...
This comic series is recommended for mature readers only (or at least native Scots with a hardy constitution). Contains some Scottish dialect language which may be incomprehensible to non-natives (however, handy subtitles are provided when required).
