Release Party Day 3- Why the Scottish Highlands?


Welcome back! Today is Day 3 of my Release Party for Her Highland Champion! Today I'm sharing pictures of various Scottish scenery. Some of the pictures I took, and some of them were taken by one of my brothers. If you take a  look, you'll see why I couldn't resist setting a story here.

  4. Beautiful pictures, Alexa!!! I do believe the monument you saw is of Bonnie Prince Charlie. During the Jacobite Rebellion, he lead his troops right through Glenfinnan. I'd love to see this in person one day. Thank you for sharing. :)

  5. Gorgeous photos!! It's impossible to pick one favorite. There's something to love about every place in Scotland. I've never been to Loch Shiel or Glenfinnan but hope to go there one day.

  6. Avery, it is hard to pick! And as for the Scotsman coming into your life, Malcolm's pretty hot! I hope you'll like him.

    Jane, I'm going through withdrawal for Scotland!

    April, I think my favorite one is the one with the mist somewhere in the Highlands.

    Diva, it'a actually just a statue of a generic Highlander, but it is to signify those who joined Bonnie Prince Charlie in Glenfinnan.

    Vonda, you really need to add it to your "To Be Visited" list! My 1st stop was on a tour for a few hours. I LOVED it so much I ended up going back for a 2-night stay the next time I was in Scotland.

  7. I have to go with Loch Schiel at the End of the Day.

    Seems peaceful, relaxing, and I really want to be there!
    Best of luck with the release Alexa !

  10. Angi, that pic is another of my favorites. I was sitting in the pub in the hotel and decided to take pictures with the sun going down. I couldn't believe how great it came out!

    Paisley, I'll ALWAYS share anything I can of Scotland!

    Pat, I like that plan!

  11. I have only been to the Highlands once... I prefer the Lowlands if I'm honest! An Edinburgh story next maybe???? Looking forward to reading the book soon x

  12. Gorgeous setting, Alexa! I think if I have to pick, it should be the Coast off the Isle of Skye. I have a fascination with cliffs. Here's many wishes for a wonderful release and heaps of sales! :)

  13. Thanks, Natalie!

    Leanne, if my publisher takes them, the next one is set in Sunderland and the 3rd is set in Edinburgh during Hogmanay!

    Thanks so much, Misty! That picture reminds me of the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland too. Absolutely beautiful.
