John Buchan 
John MacNab 

In 1925, John Buchan published his second most famous novel, ’John Mac Nab’; three high-flying men – a barrister, a cabinet minister and a banker – are suffering from boredom. They concoct a plan to cure it. They inform three Scottish estates that they will poach from each two stags and a salmon in a given time. They sign collectively as ’John Mc Nab’ and await the responses. This novel is a light interlude within the ’Leithen Stories’ series – an evocative look at the hunting, shooting and fishing lifestyle in Highland Scotland.
