 Daniel William Adamson
Adamson s skill and competence as a breeder was recognized by the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club which awarded him its Constructive Breeder Award - in 1956, 1958 and in 1960.
Adamson had few equals and fewer peers, his farm being one of the finest family-farm set-ups in Nova Scotia, a fact recognized by the Nova Scotia Farmers Association by his having been selected to receive a Scotia Banner Farmer Certificate in 1935 and a Scotia Premier Farmer Certificate in 1938.
Adamson was one who took an active part in community affairs, in the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a faithful member, a farm leader whose opinions were respected in the councils of the Nova Scotia Farmers Association, and one who, indeed, left his mark indelibly imprinted on the rural community in which he lived.

William Adamson (Mark Rylance), the son of a Scottish butcher, who is a naturalist, returning from a 10 year exploration journey in the Amazon jungle, surviving a shipwreck where he lost all his collected specimens except for the rare butterflies he brings back to his patron.
After William meets his patron's daughter Eugenia (Kensit) on the dance floor, he finds out she was engaged to a Captain Hunt who killed himself rather than marry her.
The Alabaster family is put under the microscope and the kindly but obsequious William observes first-hand how different each member of the family is. Eugenia's brother Edgar (Henshall) behaves boorishly toward him telling him he despises him for marrying his sister, that he could never be one of "them" because he has poor bloodlines.
