Laura Everingham; or, The Highlanders of Glen Ora

A young woman and her acquaintances in a remote Highland glen confront class tensions and the decline of traditional life as outside visitors and estate pressures disturb local routines. A rescue by Highlanders forges unexpected bonds with English guests, while rent disputes, evictions, and social snobbery create bitter conflict and drive departures. The story follows several men into military service and an overseas campaign, depicting shipboard life, encounters with Ottoman officers, trials, and moral temptations. Interwoven folklore episodes, adventures, and romances illuminate cultural clashes, personal loyalties, and the human costs of social change.
