Crooken Sands 

Crooken Sands by Bram Stoker is about the life of a London merchant in Crooken Bay in Scotland. Excerpt: ‘Mr. Arthur Fernlee Markam, who took what was known as the Red House above the Mains of Crooken, was a London merchant, and being essentially a cockney, thought it necessary when he went for the summer holidays to Scotland to provide an entire rig-out as a Highland chieftain, as manifested in chromolithographs and on the music-hall stage. He had once seen in the Empire the Great Prince-‘The Bounder King’-bring down the house by appearing as ‘The Mac Slogan of that Ilk, ‘ and singing the celebrated Scotch song.’
