Nancy Drew always finds a mystery, no matter where she goes. In this book, Nancy, her friends, and her father travel to Scotland. They are there for family business. They also hope to solve the puzzle of a missing family treasure.
Before they leave, Nancy gets a strange warning not to go to Scotland. But Nancy is brave and ignores the warning. Once in Scotland, Nancy notices some unusual things. She also finds the local people quite interesting.
Nancy and her friends, Bess and George, visit Nancy's great-grandmother. Nancy has never met her before. Her great-grandmother lives on a large estate in the beautiful Scottish Highlands.

Nancy follows clues that lead her to an old castle. She also finds hints at a very old prehistoric fortress. These clues help her solve the entire mystery.
