Ah, bonnie Scotland. The mere sound of the word is enough to make you daydream of big skies and rugged Highlands; the cobbled streets of its ancient cities and legendary castles; gazing mehr anzeigen out across windswept coastlines and  heavenly islands sprinkled with purple heather, sipping a dram of the finest malt whisky.

Literature inspired by Scotland – both fictional and fact-based – has long drawn visitors to our shores. Take the time to lose yourself between the pages of these remarkable stories set in Scotland before planning your very own trip. weniger anzeigen
