Much as I wanted to just stay there in the nook – or perhaps even live in it – there were other places to explore. #books #Scotland
Set in a castle, THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR blends the Scottish witchcraft accusations with a love story. #HistoricalRomance #Scotland
If you like castles, Scotland, history, witches, stone circles and Christmas done medieval-style, you might like THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR. There’s also a love story.

Tales of 3 witches abound in the Forres area of Moray. First, Macbeth’s Hillock where Macbeth is said to have met 3 witches, then the Sueno’s stone with 3 trapped inside. Finally the gruesome witch’s stone, of which there were once meant to have been three.
