A play by Charles Campbell Gardner and Rosamunde Pilcher.
The action takes place at Keltnie, in Scotland.
Time: the present
(Janette Scott appears by permission of Associated British Picture Corporation, Ltd.)

Fiona Cuningham has just come back to Scotland after three years in America: she is nearly sixteen, and must now keep her promise to her father to finish her education at home. But after three years she has become thoroughly Americanised, even to her accent which belongs to the campus rather than to Keltnie, where she was born and reared.
Her father, Robert Cuninghame of Keltnie, is disconcerted by this new-style Fiona, so is Mrs. Lang, her aunt, and McCrae, the normally imperturbable servant; and so is Andrew Fleming of Rioch, the estate across the loch, who although he is nearly twice her age, has followed Fiona's progress in America and awaited her return as keenly as the rest. In fact, it is Andrew who soon decides that Fiona is now 'part-ten, part-twenty'. But Fiona is not in the least put out - except by the prospect of going back to school. She is full of her American experiences, and in no time she has invited a young American to stay at Keltnie. In fact, here is the impact of the New World on a part of the world that prides itself on being very old.-Peter Foster
