What of the wind that bloweth where it listeth?

It turns out that there's a rather excellent statue of Alan Breck Stewart and David Balfour in Edinburgh, which can also be seen on a website that reconstructs the route they took from the Isle of Erraid to Edinburgh. And there is also a graphic novel, which I think I will have to inflict on my eldest for Christmas, since there is no way she will ever plough through 19th century prose, even for a crackingly good story.
