Books that Take You to Scotland
Near the end of 2023 I decided to return to picking a monthly reading theme, and for January 2024 that theme was books set in Scotland or written by Scottish authors. Here are a few books I’ve read over the years that transport you to the land of kilts, bagpipes, and Highland mist.
