In it April 1706; an elephant sighs forlornly, sits down and dies by the side of the road, just outside Dundee. Foiling the energetic attempts of the locals to make off with trophies, surgeon-apothecary Dr Patrick Blair attempts to make his name, and fortune, as the first man in the fledgling Great Britain to dissect an elephant. His assistant, Gilbert Orum, plans a different tribute. Whose monument will be the most celebrated? And just who is being immortalised?
