 Amazon.com: The Blood-Dimmed Tide: Books: Rennie Airth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
While Airth fails, oddly, to exploit a couple of opportunities for interesting plot turns at book's end, his psychological portrait of the murderer imbues Tide with a fine pathos, and the backdrop of Nazi power-grabbing sets the stage for what is supposed to be a third and final Madden yarn.
Airth melds the world of the serial killer with the current affairs of the 1930's, with implications that there is more afoot than meets the eye, a protected identity escaping behind porous European borders.
But, on the whole, Airth does not convey the texture of the times, of the impact of changing technology, of the erosion of British ascendancy, of the place of talking motion pictures and recordings, of the era of radio, not even of the residing nausea with war that became Appeasement.

The claims of the Barons of Allardice to the earldom of Airth, as heirs of the Grahams, Earls of Menteith, Strathearn and Airth, are well known to all students of the British peerage.
Captain Barclay-Allardice's claim was that this Earldom of Airth was, by the original Royal patent of nobility (issued in 1633), heritable by descendants in the female line from the grantee.
The Crown argued that "heirs" meant "heirs male"; that the Airth title was intended to be granted under the same terms as the Menteith patent of nobility, which specified "heirs male." In 1839 the House of Lords in effect rejected the Allardice claim.

 Airth Castle Hotel (near Stirling) - Review - At worst, no worse than many; at best, no better than most
Set on a small wooded hilltop amidst fields and a scattering of houses which compose the villages of Letham and Airth in Stirlingshire, the location IS picturesque...if you discount the march of electricity pylons across the vista and the housing development coming up right opposite the entrance to the hotel.
For this you have to drive further on to a newer construction tacked on to what I believe were the old stables.
Having lived in Scotland for several years, I'm not sure what this means but in Airth it means large dollops of indifference and a pinch or two of impatience.
