The story

An ineffectual science teacher William Lamb is hired by a school normally located in middle England (St Michael's) recently transferred because of Second World War evacuation policy to the remote Dunbain Castle on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Posing as (amongst many other things) an Old Etonian, Lamb settles down into his new surroundings and becomes acquainted with the various local Scottish traditions and legends that abound and strikes up a friendship with one of the other masters, Hilary Tisdaile. However, shortly after his arrival an ancient curse returns to Dunbain Castle.
