    Re: Favourite Scottish (themed) Novels

    It's been a number of years since I read these, but I really enjoyed the trilogy by Lewis Grassic Gibbons -- The Scots Quair. The three novels are Sunset Song, Cloud Howe and Gray Granite.

    Before Diana Gabaldon there was Barbara Erskine. She's written quite a few historical/present novels, several of which are set in or about Scotland.

    Lady of Hay, 1986
    *Kingdom of Shadows, 1988
    *Child of the Phoenix, 1992
    Midnight is a Lonely Place, 1994
    House of Echoes, 1996
    On the Edge of Darkness, 1998
    Whispers in the Sand, 2000
    Hiding from the Light, 2002
    Daughters of Fire, 2006
    The Warrior's Princess, 2008
    Time's Legacy, 2010

    The * titles are the books that I remember feature Scotland.
