A dramatisation of an exam student's dream looks at the setting of the novel - both its place and time. Kinraddie is based on Gibbon's childhood home of Arbuthnott, as stated at the front of the book. Specific description of Kinraddie Kirk matches the church in Arbuthnot where Gibbon lies buried. The area is agricultural and was undergoing a time of change during the period in which the story is set - between June 1911 and late summer 1919. This period also covered Gibbon's teenage years and the First World War.
