Summary "The Grey Man" by S. R. Crockett is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Launcelot Kennedy, a young man caught in the midst of a fierce feud between the Kennedies of Cassillis and their rivals, the Bargany faction. This tale is set against the backdrop of the tumultuous and violent feuds that characterized Scottish history in that era, promising themes of loyalty, revenge, and the complexities of family ties. The opening of "The Grey Man" introduces us to Launcelot Kennedy as he recounts a significant incident involving his father, who is drawn into the chaos of a raid on the Tower of Ardstinchar by the Cassillis faction against their rivals, the Bargany. As they witness the burning of the castle, Launcelot learns the harsh realities of their feudal loyalties and enmities, especially when confronted with the concept of vengeance sworn by Gilbert Kennedy of Bargany. This initial chapter establishes not only the violent tensions between the factions but also lays the groundwork for Launcelot's evolving sense of identity and his place within this fractured world.
