The history and origin of the Macnab
The Macnab Challenge is becoming the ultimate sporting challenge in Scotland. Inspired by the 1925 book “John Macnab” by John Buchan, who also famously wrote the spy thriller the 39 Steps. The story follows three protagonists, bored and seeking excitement. They decide to turn to poaching. The trio (Lawyer Sir Edward Leithen, Tory MP John Palliser-Yeates and the Earl of Lamancha) They turn up at a Scottish estate one summer and warn the owners they intend to poach a salmon or a stag from their land and return it to them undetected. The book follows their exploits to do so. A fantastic book and a must read if you haven’t already done so.
