Best Scottish Historical Romances!


As Geddes MacGregor once said, “No one in Scotland can escape from the past. It is everywhere, haunting like a ghost." Scotland’s past is the subject of this list, romance novels I have come to love that are set in Scotland, most in that magical part of Scotland called the Highlands. Some are romances with a Scot as hero. All are rated 5, 4 ½ or 4 stars. Enjoy!
