Abstract
A satirical and allegorical story of a knight and his squire who go on a pilgrimage to the Highlands in order to free them from the dread giant of Orthodoxy. The two heretical figures, clad in the armor of ‘heresy’ and Arian and Unitarian faith epically fail in their quest, first attacking a traveling menagerie and then falling to the religiously righteous giant of Orthodox and his Celtic knights. This chapbook is part of a collection of chapbooks produced in Aberdeen which have been bound together in this volume.
