[edit] Plot summary
Warnings to not go to Scotland can't stop Nancy from setting out on a thrill-packed mystery adventure.
Undaunted by these vicious threats, the attractive young detective, with her father and her two best friends, goes to visit her great-grandmother at an imposing estate in the Scottish Highlands, and to solve the mystery of a missing family heirloom.
There is another mystery to be solved, as well - the fate of flocks of stolen sheep.
Baffling clues challenge Nancy's powers of deduction - a note written in the ancient Gaelic language, a deserted houseboat on Loch Lomond, a sinister red-bearded stranger in Edinburgh, eerie whistling noises in the Highlands. Startling discoveries in an old castle and in the ruins of a prehistoric fortress, on a rugged mountain slope and in a secluded glen, lead Nancy closer to finding the solutions to both mysteries.
Wearing a time-honored tartan, Nancy climbs the mountain of Ben Nevis in the dark of night and plays a tune of historic heroism on the bagpipes - all part of her daring plan to trap the sheep thieves and to recover the valuable family heirloom.
