My heart's in the lowlands: ten days in bonny Scotland

Description

Best-selling novelist Liz Curtis Higgs invites you to take an entertaining journey through the verdant hills and glens of the Scottish Lowlands - Dumfries and Galloway in particular. 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.
