Scottish Literature
Ceud mìle fàilte! ☆ Castles, Moors, Sìth and lochs and trees for as far as the eye can see! From fantasy, sci fi, crime, lit fic, horror, to non fiction, the Scots can do it all 🏴
A small country with mighty good *authors and equally amazing books that deserve a spotlight!
*List features authors who are Scottish and other books set in Scotland by authors who may not be Scottish but are known for writing their books set in Scotland!

PB made this list 3 times lmao hopefully that is it sorted now, any recs for this feel free !
also thinking of including books Set in Scotland for anyone who wants to read about Scotland but cant necessarily find the book they want that is solely from a Scottish author :^) main focus however is on Scottish authors so these ones will be kept to a minimum i think for now!
May I recommend The Tick and the Tock of the Crocodile Clock by Kenny Boyle?
oh thank u! that is great yes 🫶💐
I love his Scottish culture/folklore content on Instagram.
