Books Set in Scotland

Caramellunacy: An almost modern Gothic thriller about a group of truly terrible people who rent a remote hunting lodge in the Highlands for New Years - and one of them ends up murdered. Which one and by whom? That's what the rest of the book is for.

Caramellunacy: Set on an archaeological dig near Eyemouth - archaeologist Verity Grey is lured to Scotland with the promise of an intriguing job, which turns out to be searching for the lost Ninth Legion (plus ghost!).

Caramellunacy: A YA novel set in Perthshire in the 1930s - we have an archaeological site, a missing professor, Scottish Travellers, LGBT issues and coming of age. Good background into the character of Queenie from Code Name Verity.

Caramellunacy: A retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion set in Edinburgh. Susan Napier tries to deal with her incredibly selfish family and restore the family restaurant Eliot's to its former glory - while dealing with competition from her grandfather's former protege turned celebrity chef (and her former crush) Chris against the backdrop of Edinburgh's festival scene.

Caramellunacy: A paranormal "monster" romance set on Loch Ness with a centuries-old curse, the Loch Ness monster and kelpies.

Caramellunacy: Emma travels to Scotland on an Outlander-inspired tour searching for her very own version of Jamie Fraser. She starts a travel blog to document her (mis)adventures and ignores all terms of her visa to spend time with a Scottish fella she's trying to force into a Jamie-shaped hole. It's fairly enjoyable but mostly predictable fluff.

Caramellunacy: Katie is a travel writer and influencer who joins an Edwardian immersive experience on the Isle of Mull. She's quite disaster-prone and finds herself rescued by Graeme, the hot caretaker (whose family owns the castle/hotel). Inspirational fiction, but not terribly in your face.

Caramellunacy: Set on fictional Loch Dorn (on the West Coast near Skye), Birdie pretends to be her friend - a talented sommelier - at a boutique luxury hotel. Hijinks ensue.

Caramellunacy: Set in Culduie, Applecross - a historical, epistolary novel about a brutal triple murder in a tiny crofter village. Unreliable narrators abound.
