Favourite Scottish (themed) Novels
Much as I am interested in Traditional Highland Civilian Dress, I am also interested in Scottish History (which I studied for Joint Honours with Politics as an undergraduate), and Scottish Literature, especially the works of Burns and the genre of the Scottish (Historical) novel.
This interest was sparked early at around the age of 11 when my mum gave me her copy of R.L. Stevenson's Kidnapped. To this day (now in my mid-40's) I still regard Kidnapped as the single most formative novel I ever read.
Other personal favourites would include Stevenson's Catriona, and Neil Munro's New Road and Doom Castle.
I'd be interested to learn what Scottish novels X-markers have read and enjoyed, and how influential folk find them.
