Scottish police procedurals and mysteries

Have read ALL the Rebus series and several isolated other mysteries. Looking for other series books set in Scotland and featuring police procedurals and mysteries. Especially interested in book set in Orkney and the islands.

Stuart MacBride's serie with its hero Logan McRae which is set in Aberdeen. I love this serie.

I love the Logan McRae series as well.

Also there is the Maureen O'Donnell series beginning with Garnethill which is set in Glasgow. It's in my TBR so I don't know how good it is.

Wrong link?

Peter Turnbull set some police procedurals in Scotland. I think they were called the P Division books

Christopher Brookmyre has mysteries/ thrillers with a comic tone set in Scotland including a series featuring a journalist named Parablane that starts with Quite Ugly One Morning

Anne Cleeves's Shetland Island Quartet

Aline Templeton has a series of police procedurals set in Edinburgh

Also Quentin Jardine

+1 for Ann Cleeves Shetland series

You also might like to try the Hamish Macbeth series by M.C. Beaton

Bill Knox has a series of scottish police procedurals. They may be hard to find since they are out of print.

Lin Anderson has written a series featuring forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod.

Warner Shedd has written a hum-dinger entitled WILDCAT AT EVE. It has yet to be published, though it's already got an ISBN. A friendly note of encouragement to his Web-site might help this project along. See warnershedd.com.

They are not very deep, but I love M.C. Beaton's Hamish Macbeth series. The stories are set in a small town in northern Scotland and Hamish is the village constable.

oh, I love the Shetland series by Cleeves!

13 - Me too! I think there were only supposed to be 4 books in the series, but she added a fifth - yeah!

Highly recommend Peter May's The Black House, which is part of his Lewis Trilogy. Terrific sense of place. I'm looking forward to reading his second and third novels in the series, The Lewis Man and Chessmen. Unfortunately, both of the latter two appear to be out of print already in the UK and are hard to locate in the US.

Sure amazon will have copies.

Alex Gray writes a Detective Lorimer series. I read the 2nd and 3rd, A Small Weeping and Shadows of Sounds back when they came out (I was in charge of the imports at the bookstore back then, before the days of easy personal importing via Book Depository). I thought they were quite good, but didn't continue due to the difficulty obtaining them; however, I see Amazon lists them now (hmmmm). http://www.alex-gray.com/books/

I like the Jackson Brodie series by Kate Atkinson. Several titles were dramatized and shown on Masterpiece Mystery several years ago.

Pat McIntosh has a series featuring Gil Cunningham a detective in Glascow in the late 1400. I have read as many of this series as I have been able to get my hands on! some of the titles are St. Mungo's Robin, The Stolen Voice, the Harper's Quine & The Nicholas feast.
