Edinburgh, 1759. The Nor' Loch is being filled in. If you ask the soldiers there, they'll tell you it's a stinking cesspool that the city can do without. But that doesn't explain why the workers won't go near the place without an armed guard. That doesn't explain why they whisper stories about the loch giving up its dead, about the minister who walked into his church twelve years after he died...It doesn't explain why, as they work, they whisper about a man called the Doctor. And about the many hands of Alexander Monro. Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television.
Nobody visits Heritage. Why would they? Dry, dusty and hot, it's nothing but a failed mining colony too stupid to realise that it's actually dead. No-one wants to visit, least of all Ace. But the Doctor's got his hearts set on a flying visit, just while they're in the neighbourhood. That's when he finds out that Heritage wants visitors just as much as visitors want them. So, while Ace is getting friendly with the locals, the Doctor is trying his best to convince them that he's not interested in their secrets. All he wants is a few quiet days and a nice cup of tea. Trouble is, secrets have a way of unearthing themselves when the Doctor's around. Whether he wants them to or not.
