The Tartan
Pimpernel
A Story of France in World War II
by Donald Caskie
"As exciting and eventful as the novel from which its title drives. It is an inspiring story, a
testament of the power of goodness in the conflict with evil." -Scotsman
"Dr. Caskie recounts his adventures racily and well, without rancour and with constant humour."
-Glasgow Herald
"Told with admirable sincerity." -The Times Literary Supplement
The Rev. Dr. Donald Currie Caskie (1902-1983) was a minister in the Church of Scotland, best
known for his exploits in France during World War II, during which he helped an estimated 2,000
Allied sailors, soldiers, and airmen to escape from occupied France (mainly through Spain).
The son of a crofter, he was born in Bowmore on Islay in 1902. He was educated at Bowmore School
and then Dunoon Grammar School before studying arts and divinity at the University of Edinburgh.
His first charge was at Gretna, before becoming the minister of the Scots Kirk in Paris in
1938.
