The Days of Auld Lang Syne

"The Days of Auld Lang Syne" by Ian Maclaren is a story that shows what life was like for farmers in Scotland long ago. It's about the people of Drumtochty, their friendships, the old ways they followed, and how they dealt with problems. Right from the start, the book shows us farmers like Jamie Soutar and others figuring out how to work with the people who own the land, like Gormack and Hillocks, and make sure they can keep farming. The story is about being strong, sticking to traditions, and also finding the funny side of things. It gives you a good look at what it means to be part of a small town, how much they value their land, and how everyone works together, even when things get tough. It's a peek into their lives, full of hard work, laughter, and the ups and downs of living in the countryside.
