Huntingtower is a 1922 novel by the Scottish author John Buchan, initially serialised in Popular Magazine between August and September 1921. It is the first of his three Dickson McCunn books, the action taking place in the district of Carrick in Galloway, Scotland. Initial reviews were generally favourable. The New York Times found the book delightful, if improbable, and concluded that "no one who becomes acquainted with McCunn ... will be likely to forget him".In The Interpreters House (1975), David Daniell called the book "a stirring adventure of royal Russian exiles and wicked Bolsheviks", and he noted its high spirits and outrageous wisdom, as well as the authors exuberance of imagination and his sensitivity to countryside and to weather. It is the DieHards, according to Daniell, that lift the book to its true level "it is their individuality, passion and energy, and forthright sense ... which must finally rescue Buchan from the foolish judge of snobbery". And, "What defeats the invasion of Hell is the ability of a group of ordinary people of all ages, so ordinary as to be normally overlooked, to respond to romance". A silent film Huntingtower based on the novel was released in 1928. It was directed by George Pearson, and featured the music hall performer Harry Lauder. Rights were sold for a play and another film, but neither were ultimately produced.There have been three BBC Radio adaptations a singleprogramme adaptation by TP Maley, broadcast on 5SC Glasgow in 1929...
