First Impressions competition: 19 June 2008

This week’s competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from an action-adventure novel set in the heathery hills of Scotland:

“I will begin the story of my adventures with a certain morning early in the month of June, the year of grace 1751, when I took the key for the last time out of the door of my father's house.”
