Alec Forbes of Howglen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alec Forbes of Howglen is a novel by George MacDonald, first published in 1865 and is primarily concerned with Scottish country life.
The 'Howglen' described in the novel likely is a reference to George MacDonald's childhood home in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, 'The Farm.' The 'Glamour' river, on which the town of the novel is situated, has been immortalized in the names of modern day streets in Huntly, as well as a children's park near the site of the old MacDonald family Mill.
