Cathie is an orphan trying to follow the only clue she has to her birth family, somewhere in Scotland. Ian and Sovra are native Highlanders who spend all their free time exploring, whether by boat or on land. When they meet, Cathie is grateful for their help and friendship because she does not have their expertise camping and has no place to go. Can Ian and Sovra help her find her family and happiness?
