“Just as mythology is psychology by another name so cattle translate as wealth, status, currency, religion. For the clan Gunn cattle are the essential totem. Their river started high in the hills of time, before the Vikings and the Gaels from Ireland came into the North.
Their headwaters spilled out from the land of the Picts. They were not, in their latter days, migrant. They were the very essence of native. Behind the face of a relative, were 3000 years of totems on poles, of bull's heads on birch stakes, of fire and the ceremony of the seasons. The real blood of history, of meaning.”
