I am not participating....challenges are too stressful for me. :)<br /><br />I love Scotland and have read a few books set in Scotland, but I am not participating in the challenge. I am just "hovering" and checking out the blogs on the list. :)<br /><br />I don't know any of these authors. I read two books I liked a lot that I mentioned above...The Island House by Posie Graeme Evans and Angel Harp by Michael Phillips.<br /><br />Hope your challenge is going well.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br />Silver's Reviews<br /><a href="http://silversolara.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Blog</a>Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01522861943931628690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-18861109867605739492013-11-20T20:54:47.686-08:002013-11-20T20:54:47.686-08:00Tracy, no problem.

Then I turned around and came home, though I did stop on the way back near Carlisle to sleep for a while. This was back in the early 90's. Those three dreaded words, much maligned these days - HEALTH AND SAFETY - would prevent me making the same trip again today under these circumstances. <br />I hope next time I visit it is somewhat more relaxing! col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-16971995958117451352013-11-20T03:08:50.416-08:002013-11-20T03:08:50.416-08:00Thanks, Col.

Might be easier to obtain physical copies over here. <br />For the record, (and something to refer back to when you may possibly be suffering from insomnia at some point) I have only ever been to Scotland twice. Once I had to deliver some shopfitting parts to a small supermarket in Galashiels, driving the 320 miles from Leighton Buzzard on a Saturday night. The other occasion was a visit to another supermarket, fitting ticket edging to shelves on night shifts in a store in Stranraer. I haven't really seen too much of the country! col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-27029464804847696492013-11-20T02:49:47.879-08:002013-11-20T02:49:47.879-08:00Col, assuming you've been to Scotland, or othe...Col, assuming you've been to Scotland, or otherwise, would living in the UK make it easier for you to go through with this challenge?
