There's the lady who threw a stool which killed a king, a Glaswegian who ate his way to history, an Orcadian pirate with an embarrassing career and more. William Wallace might be famous, but what about the Fighting Bishop who saved Fife with armour over his robes?

There are a couple of events booked in already where I get to share stories from and about the book, at Golden Hare in Edinburgh on the 12th of November and Waterstones West End on the 19th. Hopefully a few more to come over winter as well!

Ready for a Scottish horror story? The high passes through the Angus Glens can be dangerous places in winter. By day, they're beautiful, sweeping landscapes but at night, said to be haunted by spirits of battles fought long ago.

We don't carve pumpkins in Scotland, we carve neeps (turnips)!* I think they look far scarier and that's what they're for, to ward off bad spirits, keeping us safe with their light. *of course people do carve pumpkins too, but this is the real tradition.

It's no easy task to scoop out the insides though, you can see why people changed to the softer pumpkin in some places. I made sure to have an extra sharp knife and my hardest spoon on hand to work through this thing - any kids doing this had better be well supervised!

Everybody, meet Maisie! I've had a new Barketing Intern join the team, but it'll be a wee while until she's ready to come out exploring Scotland with me. Still, you can expect to see a lot more of her in the future!

It seems like she's a little camera shy or maybe was just annoyed I picked her up away from the chew toy, because she's normally like a little whirlwind right now!
