Plot
Having struck it rich in the Klondike Gold Rush (see chapter 8, King of the Klondike), Scrooge goes home to Scotland, but after realizing that he doesn't fit in very well there any more, he hires Scottie McTerrier to look after the McDuck castle for him, while he and his sisters leave for a small, unseeming town Scrooge has recently bought from its founder's grandson while a sourdough in Alaska: Duckburg, Calisota, U.S.A. The morning they leave, their father Fergus dies, joining his late wife and the rest of the Clan McDuck.
