Synopsis
The Scottish legends of Sawny Bean and his cannibal tribe and the roasting alive of the Abbot of Crossraguel form part of this powerful and dramatic tale of 17th Century Ayrshire and Galloway. Centred on the relentless fighting between the Kennedys of Culzean and of Bargany, the Grey Man is a tale of intrigue and treachery in a land where the rule of law came second to that of the broadsword.

About the Author
S. R. (Saumel Rutherford) Crockett was a Scottish novelist who wrote over 40 works in the Kailyard School fashion, a style of writing developed in the late 1800s as a reaction against coarse representations of Scottish life. Crockett s contemporaries in the Kailyard School included J. M. Barrie, George MacDonald, and Ian Maclaren. Crockett s most popular work, The Raiders, captures the excitement and anxiety of Galloway smugglers. The Black Douglas was credited by J. R. R. Tolkien as an influence on his development of the character Sauron in his Lord of the Rings trilogy. S. R. Crockett died in France in 1914.
Jackson's business experience includes the Presidency of two separate banks and a Vice-Chairman position with an information services company.
