There were a bit too many "Ayes" and "Dearies" from the author. I did get potato scones, haggis, black pudding and a savory scone with my Full Scottish Breakfast which she covers on page 72. When in Scotland sample their food. On page 73 she writes, "Judging by the grimace on your face, I'd say tiptoeing around the cemetery of the Kirkbean Parish Church after breakfast is not your idea of a good time." As a genealogist I've maxed out memory cards photographing tombstones in cemeteries where my relatives have lived for centuries. She does mention a cousin of mine on pages 78-79 entitled "Mr. Holland's Ewer" and speaks of his wife as "a spry bundle of energy." She also quotes the Rev. William Holland later in the book. It was lovely to read of her trip through Dumfries and Galloway, though ten days is too short a time for such a trip. Six weeks, now that's more like it! ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
“Let’s go, shall we? Just the two of us?” “I consider Galloway the country’s best kept secret: a place where time holds its breath, where ancient ruins dot the countryside in moss-covered splendor, where the natives are friendly and tourists are few, only because they don’t know what they’re missing. “So, ten days in bonny Scotland. You’ll join me, aye?”–from My Heart’s in the Lowlands Best-selling novelist Liz Curtis Higgs invites you to take an entertaining journey through the South West of Scotland, known as Dumfries and Galloway. Without crossing the pond, changing time zones, or driving on the left side of the road, you’ll explore quaint villages and crumbling castles, old bookshops and charming tearooms in the delightful company of a guide whose love for this quiet nook of Scotland illuminates every page. The verdant hills and glens of the Lowlands are awash in history, rich with culture, and peopled with engaging characters. The setting for Higgs’s acclaimed series of historical novels, Dumfries and Galloway also serves as her home away from home. Her decade-long love affair with this unique area of the world, combined with her award-winning storytelling skills, makes her the ideal armchair travel companion. Warm, personal, and deeply evocative, My Heart’s in the Lowlands transports you to an unforgettable corner of Scotland that will lay claim to your heart forever. Liz Curtis Higgs is the best-selling author of 25 books, including her Scottish historical novels Thorn in My Heart, Fair Is the Rose, Whence Came a Prince, and Grace in Thine Eyes.
