Oh, back again, after such a long absence, and still only just past 15? Was Tony Blair there at 'Fetters' at the same time as you?

I had returned to Edinburgh, and my boarding school, in January, having turned 15 the Christmas before,

On the notice board in my 10 man dorm was a new name, R R MacGregor,

I checked the dorm room, and the end bed near the door was empty, so he hadn't actually arrived.

I settled in and packed away my clothes and joined my school friends, who, like me, were all kilted, as was the tradition.

We chatted about what we had got up to at the Christmas break.

Angus Haig brought up the subject of our new dorm buddy, but no-one knew anything about him, which was unusual,

Fetters is a very exclusive boarding school, and we all knew about each other because all our families were well known in Scotland, many were sons of the Aristocracy, like mine,

So this new member was a mystery, and by the following morning when classes began, he had still not arrived.

It was about ten thirty in the morning when someone entered the room, and his presence was obvious to everybody before we actually saw him, the air was electric,

I turned to look, as this tall red-haired boy strode in, fully kilted in the MacGregor Tartan,

He walked to our housemaster and handed him his forms, and the housemaster introduced us to Master Robert R MacGregor, and i suddenly realised who he was,

There could be no mistake, this very handsome boy, my age, was the direct decedent of Rob Roy MacGregor, the 17th century Hero, who was called the Scottish Robin Hood.

  A Highland outlaw who dominated Scottish life for many years and his exploits were legendary.

His name in Gaelic was Raibeart Rudadh MacGrioggairand his middle name Roy in Gaelic, (Rudadh) meant Red, the colour of his hair,

He was born in 1671, I knew all about him because to us Stuarts, he was a hero, who joined the Jacobite Revolution to aid King James 11, James Stuart, my ancestor.

He was taken in and aided by The Duke of Argyle and imprisoned by The Duke of Montrose. who he waged a blood feud with for decades.

I watched this young Rob Roy quite intently.

He seemed very self-assured, and his presence in the room was atmospheric, as the housemaster rattled on, this boy suddenly glanced directly at me, and those bright hazel eyes bored deep into my soul,

I blushed and he smiled slightly but there was something else, my head spun, stars went off in my head, I felt faint.

The housemaster finished talking and this boy sat to my left and a row nearer the front of the class,  he turned to look at me, he looked concerned, he had noticed that I was slightly woozy. that was the very first time I met Robert, and it left me breathless.

The day passed quickly, and we were in the canteen eating dinner and chatting, when Robert walked in, and made a beeline straight towards me, holding his tray of food,

I watched as he approached, he smiled and said,

'Do you mind if I sit here?' he nodded to an empty seat opposite mine across the table, i said, 'Not at all' and he sat down, he really was a stunning boy, strong features with dazzling even white teeth.

My heart started to beat very fast, what the hell was happening to me?

He reached out his hand, 'Robert,' was all he said, i was about to reply but he stopped me,

'I know exactly who you are, we are almost Kinsmen!

'I looked at him closely, he was broad-shouldered but slim with dark red hair, not ginger, he was very handsome with bright mesmerising hazel eyes.

'Your ancestor fought for the Stuarts over 350 years ago, ' I said quietly,

'You are that MacGregor?', He nodded,

'Like i say, were almost kinsmen,' and we both laughed.

I asked him why he had suddenly arrived at Fetters two years later than the rest of us, and he said he had been living in Ohio, where the present Clan Chief of the MacGregor's lived, I said,

'You didn't pick up and American Accent,' and he laughed and replied to me with an exaggerated Highland Twang to his voice, his real voice was very lilting and soft, so very much a Highlander.

I was intrigued, especially as he had rested his hand on mine as he was talking, my skin tingled.

'You said you know 'exactly' who I am, How?' Robert smiled,

'When I was told I was coming to Fetters, and what dorm i was in, i checked who was in my new dorm, and your name popped up, i asked my father about you, and he said you were a direct descendant of King James 11, and 13 other Kings and Queens.

I logged on and found 'The Valley of The Stuarts', so, like i say, i know everything about you,!'

I smiled to myself, you don't know quite everything about me, and i hope, when you do find out, it won't put you off, because my gaydar didn't ping, this boy was straight!.

We finished classes for the day and headed to our various dorms when i reached mine Robert's bed was made up and he was sitting on it reading,

He intrigued me a great deal, I was not aware that his family had wealth, but I was very strongly drawn to him, I didn't understand why.

Fetters is as expensive as Eton, but i had to resist the temptation to pry, i wanted him as a friend, he looked up as i walked in,

'Hello Rory, you don't mind me calling you that do you?' i smiled and sat next to him,

What did you think you should call me?'

'Lord Rory?' he suggested, I grinned at him but gulped as he rested his hand on my bare kilted knee.

'If you do that you will be calling half the boys here Lord as well,

'No, we don't use titles here, Rory's fine, what do i call you?'

'Rob,' was the reply, and that started a friendship that has lasted to today, but for some reason, I could not fathom, in those early days, i was always a bit shy with Rob, His 'presence' overwhelmed me. I only found out much later that my mere 'presence' took his breath away, but he was better at hiding it than me.

All our conversations were normal 15-year-old boys conversations, computers, sports, etc, but we never discussed sex in any form.

One thing i did discover early on, was that both his father and brother were investment bankers, so that explained the school fees.

Over the next few weeks we became very close indeed, he was liked and admired by many other boys, he had an unflappable manner about him, he spoke softly, and always with a smile, and was fiercely intelligent and naturally brave.

But as hard as the other boys tried, it soon became clear to them, that I was his best friend, he hung on my every shy word, encouraging me. Laughing at my silly jokes,

I had phoned my parents and told them about my new dorm-mate and they were as intrigued as I, and asked me to invite him to our home for spring break,

I asked Rob if he would like to stay with us, and he said he would ask his parents and let me know, I found out that he and his family lived in Stirling, the MacGregor heartland.

Spring break duly arrived and Rob had said that his parents said he could visit for a week but, quite naturally, wanted him home after that.

 I was over the moon, he would be 16 in June, so he was six months older than me,

I had said to him that we might not be in the same dorm room next term because he would be 16, he smiled and said,

'I have checked, if your 16 after June you have to move up a dorm, as i am not so i stay,' and he added,

'You don't get rid of me that easily!' and I blushed, and he tousled my hair and laughed, and he took this opportunity to hug me and slap my back,

Hamish arrived at Fetters in my fathers Bentley, to pick us up,

I had forewarned Rob about Hamish, but added his bark was worse than his bite,

Rob was still impressed with the giant Hamish.

We drove to the Valley of The Stuarts and swept through the Southern Gatehouse,

I had told Rob not to use my parent's titles, he was a friend and a guest, he nodded that he understood, many of the villages waved at us as we drove up to the Fortress, Rob said,

'You're popular.' and his face lit up,

'Don't be surprised rob, after all, you seem to like me as well',  and to my surprise, he blushed slightly, but he reached over and held my hand, I was really touched, so was my cock, I got an instant hard-on.

I explained that these people had known me since i was born, and many were friends, i didn't mention Jaime or Jon, obviously.

My parents were waiting for us at the front Portico, with the huge columns of granite either side, we stepped out of the car and were greeted with hugs and kisses for me and handshakes for Rob, one of the Gillies collected our bags.

We all retired to the drawing room, where i had warned Rob he would be interrogated, nicely, by my parents.

We all sat down, and my mother started with,

'We have put Robert next to you in Richards room darling, is that alright,?' I thanked her and smiled at Rob, we would be next to each other, with that concealed divided door.

I couldn't wait to see his reaction when I showed it to him.

If you have read any of my other stories, then you will know about the dividing room between my bedroom and my brother Richards,

My room has an on-suite glass panelled bathroom with shower, hot tub and lavatory,

In the old days, Richard would walk naked from his bedroom to mine, which at that time was Edmonds, and occasionally, startling some of the women who worked at the Fortress,

So, my father, had a dividing door installed, but it blended in with the decor after all the rooms were four hundred years old, he didn't want an ugly modern door installed, but you would never spot it, unless you knew it was there, you just wouldn't see it.

Everything was going swimmingly, my parents had found out he had no special dietary needs, and, like all of us, loved Game, so, i was encouraged by them to show Rob around the House and the village,

He seemed very happy and excited, as was I, i had him to my self for a whole seven days, now i could really get to know him.

I decided to show him around the Village first, he looked at me and said,

'Why is there no road markings or Road signs, no telegraph poles?'

I explained to him that only the family used the road through the village and that my father had installed a Mobile Phone Mast in the mountains so everyone had a mobile, we never had a telephone link in the village before 1996.

'Do the villages not mind not using the road?' I smiled at him,

'The terrible Earl treating his subjects badly?' Rob, grinned at me and punched my arm playfully,

'Well, I just thought!', he turned to look at me and his pupils were wide open, it took my breath away.

I asked him to look at the houses, either side of the road, all were made of stone but were detached and thatched, but none had an access to the road directly,

'All their cars are at the back of the houses, there wasn't any access ever, this village predates the motor car buy a couple of hundred years,'

Just then i heard someone shout my name, i turned and Jon came bounding up, followed by the ever faithful Bobo, the huge Windsor Stud Chocolate Labrador, and Jon gave me a big hug,

'Hello Rory, when did you get here?'  I released myself from his grip and blushing slightly, said 'Only a couple of hours ago,' I turned to Rob,

''This is my friend from school Robert.' Jon shook Rob's hand, we chatted for a while and Jon wandered off to the Cafe,

'Are all your friends that tactile?' he asked me, noticing my blushes, he said it through slightly gritted teeth, was this jealousy?

'Yes,' I answered, 'But not normally in public!'

Robert gave me a quizzical look, then the sun broke through the clouds and the yellow road sparkled like diamonds,

Rob, took a sharp intake of breath, it always amazed people when they saw the effect for the first time, he turned and looked at me,

'Is this road made of Gems.?'

I smiled and explained to him how it came about when my father was a boy, his father had discovered the art of making semi-precious stones,

You put rough coloured stones into a rolling machine, like a cement mixer, you add sharp sand  and grit and  spin for twelve hours, and out pops polished gemstones,

He was taken with the idea because one of the Lochs on the Estate had tons of stunning white quartz pebbles surrounding it,

Still has, and, as he intended to lay a concrete road from each gatehouse to the Fortress, he had an idea, they added yellow die to the concrete mix, and when the road was laid, in stages, and before each section dried, these many thousands of polished stones were sprinkled on top and a heavy roller sank them down.

This wasn't just an artistic gesture, my grandfather had experimented with the stones and he found that in sunlight and moonlight they illuminated the road, and even made the snow melt faster above through refraction, this was before electricity came to the Valley, so it was an important and useful improvement on pitch black. especially when we were using Coach and Horses.

We went back to the house, in case Robbie, my childhood lover turned up and did something even worse, then a thought struck me,

'Erm Rob, you do know we dress for dinner,?'

He stopped dead in his tracks and turned to me, his kilt swirling

'No I didn't, you never mentioned it, how could I know?'

'Don't worry, ' i said with a wan smile

'i have enough dinner clothes to dress half the boys in the village, after all, i do have three older brothers, let me show you your room, and we can sort something out.'

Rob smiled and placed his arm around my waist, he had never done this before, I was slightly taken aback,

Rob noticed the look on my face and dropped his arm.

'Sorry Rory, I forgot you don't like to be touched.'

Now I stopped startled.

'What makes you say that Rob?

Rob smiled those very white teeth at me,

'Well we have only ever shaken hands.' and I saw how uncomfortable you were when you friend hugged you.!'

I just reached forward, dragged him to me and bear-hugged him as well as kissing his neck, he laughed delightedly, His sporran had moved to one side and it was obvious to both of us that we were both erect.

I dropped him quickly I had a very full hard-on. Rob seemed nonplussed, he adjusted his sporran and said'

'Let's try that again'. I looked at him questioningly, he opened his arms, I grabbed him again and clasped him to my chest.

'That wasn't so hard was it Rory?' i went bright red, what was he referring to? My effort to hug him or my hard cock pressed against his?

I just walked away towards the Big House, Rob chased after me and spun me around.

'Rory! What's wrong? have I upset you? I turned to look at him.

'If you care for me Robert, don't tease me!' Rob, placed his hands either side of my face and looked at me very intently.

'Rory! I would never deliberately tease you, I sometimes think you are a bit too sensitive!'

'I see Robert, are you sorry you came now?' Rob grabbed my lapels and placed his face just six inches away from mine.

'Rory, what are you talking about, I couldn't wait for the day to arrive, I love being here with you. and your family, he added. I relaxed,

'Sorry Rob, sometimes you make me nervous, I don't know if you're teasing me or not. He stepped back from me but said.

'I would never tease you Rory, everything I say I mean.'

He was so earnest I felt embarrassed, we walked on to the house.
