I would like to read more Scottish authors. I have been making my way through Nigel Tranter's works and I like them, but I stumbled upon a lovely book called the "The Braes of Glenlivet". I enjoyed the scenes of everyday rural highland life. I would like to read authors more along that line. my project for after Christmas is to get my hands on some books by Gordon and Tom Weir (I like watching his show online)
I did like Lillian Beckwith's books.
Thanks for the suggestions and please keep them coming!

Yes, especially "A Rope...in case".
Do you know Iain R. Thompson's "Isolation Shepherd" and "The Long Horizon"?
Tranter's novels need to be spaced out (I'm sure you will agree) with others. They are finely written, for sure, but they are historical novels and the real Scotland needs to be remembered while we read them.
May I also suggest for your list "Along a Highland Road" by the late Dr Isobel Grant, and all of Timothy Neat's books?
