On a remote Scots island, Morag McMacMcMacMcMac - the sweetest flower that e'er pluck'd Haggis - has only two humans for company: a pair of hell-breathing, Calvinist ministers, rivals for her affections. Morag believes that Aars is a giant turtle, sleeping in the sea. But she may be nuts. Then a boat arrives, bringing the first visitor in twenty-three years, a sexually rapacious Dutch Health-and-Safety officer, a woman. Before you can say hoots, Love is in the air and the God-botherers are bent on murderous revenge...
