In 'John Burnet of Barns,' he tells the story of a Scottish laird on a backdrop of the pastoral Scottish Borders, displaying his characteristic blend of historical accuracy and engaging narrative.

He also wrote historical works and biographies, including exemplary examinations of the Great War in books like 'A History of the Great War' (1921-22).
