Charlotte is born in 1874 in a farmworker's cottage in Glenbuchat, West Aberdeenshire. Eldest of six in as many years, her main role is to rock the cradle of the latest baby. Until one decisive day. 'Bairn of the moors and fields,' he whispered, the wee lassickie. But she has to move on too. We must give her this chance.' Charlotte's Towie grandparents offer a wider world: new people, habits, customs. Then, there's school and its complexities and challenges. Not least of these is the taboo of speaking Scots - her first language. How does six-year old Charlotte cope?
