Archie was now free. He was very glad that he had chosen Mary Kerr as his wife. She was a true Scotchwoman and had now saved him several times.
The fighting continued, and the resistance of the Scotch was still strong. They captured more and more castles, with just mere handfuls of men. Some determined men who were not even in Bruce's army captured a castle by surprise.
Archie set out to capture a castle that was very difficult to take by surprise. The drawbridge was only lowered twice a day and then it was carefully watched. Archie decided to dress some of his men as fishermen, arrange with the villagers to hide the rest, and pretend to be selling fish because he had been driven into the harbor by the storm.
The chapter ends before he puts his plan into action.
More soon!
