Mary's infant son was crowned James VI, with her illegitimate half brother the earl of Moray, as Regent. The population remained bitterly divided as Moray and the Protestant Lords began to wreak their terrible vengeance on supporters of the losing side. Having fought for the Queen at the battle, the Carmichaels of Lanarkshire were in a precarious position to say the least. Poor nineteen year old John Carmichael, Younger of that Ilk, whose sole ambitions were land improvement, organising fishing and raising a family, was to become deeply entangled in the murky world of Scots regency government, eventually finding himself in great danger. Quite a scarce book, by Scottish historical author Nigel Tranter (1909-2000).

He was also determined to avenge his father, who had been murdered by English pirates. Andrew's chance came when he was asked to join his kinsman, Henry Lindsay, in a trading venture with the Baltic states. During this voyage they were attacked, and Andrew's great courage during this and subsequent skirmishes led to his national renown as a pirate slayer, and brought him to the attention of King James III. At the king's invitation, Wood built up a number of captured vessels to form the nucleus of a national fleet. Such was his success that James eventually promoted him to become Baron of Largo and Lord High Admiral of Scotland. But Admiral Wood's bold defence of Scottish waters against the marauding English privateers was to incur the wrath of King Henry VII of England. Quite a scarce book, published posthumously, by Scottish historical author Nigel Tranter (1909-2000).
