When Alex stumbled upon the old watch tucked away in his attic, he never imagined it possessed the power to transport him back in time. But when he accidentally activated the watch, a sudden vortex sucked Alex back to medieval Scotland in the year 1453.
Dazed, Alex assessed his surroundings of rolling green hills and ancient stone castles before villagers in simple wool clothing spotted him. "An outsider!" they shouted. Alex was dragged to the largest castle and brought before the bearded laird. Shocked to see Alex wearing modern clothes, the laird demanded to know who he was.

Alex explained he was from the future year . The laird laughed in disbelief, but let Alex stay to keep an eye on him. As Alex wandered the cold castle halls over the next few days, he became more curious about the laird's family crest and last name—McGregor. Alex realized it was the same last name as his ancestral family line! He wondered...could he have ended up at his own ancestors' castle?
One evening Alex overheard the McGregor laird raging about those "wretched Campbells" from the neighboring estate. The laird vowed revenge against the whole Campbell clan in a bloody feud that apparently spanned generations.
Alex was stunned. Campbell was his mother's maiden name! He desperately wanted to learn more about this long, tragic feud between his ancestral families that somehow spilled blood well into future generations. But before he could investigate further into this bizarre twist of time travel fate, Alex accidentally activated the watch vortex and was whisked back to the modern era.
