Overview

When Tam Eildor arrives unexpectedly on a remote Scottish island in the year 1587 after his time machine develops a fault, he quickly finds himself embroiled in the lives of the colourful locals. Many are trying to escape the tyranny of the power-hungry Earl Robert Stewart after he imprisoned the beautiful Princess Marie, planning to force her into a distasteful marriage to tie himself closer to the throne, furthering his own ambitions.

Aided by a motley crew including a stowaway, a pirate and the earl's own son, Eildor attempts a daring rescue of the princess. Together they will travel the oceans in search of Spanish gold, lost loves and new futures.
