Here's what endorsers are saying...

"In My Heart's in the Lowlands: Ten Days in Bonny Scotland, Liz takes us on a journey through the spectacular setting of her historical novels and lets us view the beauty of the land, its history, and its people through her eyes. What a way to travel: with an author whose love affair with Scotland has given us some of the finest historical fiction to be found anywhere. This may well be the only trip I'll ever take to Scotland—and to Liz's credit, I enjoyed the journey!"
   B.J. Hoff, author of A Distant Music

"An absolutely delightful armchair travel book. Liz Curtis Higgs lovingly portrays the beauty and ruggedness of South West Scotland by her adept use of the vernacular of the region, the appropriate quotations by Robert Burns, and the references from her earlier books, all the while thoroughly enticing readers to discover this charming, offbeat part of Scotland for themselves. The enchanting original sketches by Simon Dawdry, scattered throughout, add immense flavor. As one whose ancestors hailed from Galloway, I found that Mrs. Higgs certainly tugged at my heartstrings with her descriptions of sites well-known to me. Aye, and I canna wait to return!"
   —Lois Y. Flyte, MLS, Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society

"Liz feels about Scotland the same way I feel about Ireland...she adores it, and her adoration comes through in this delightfully uplifting book that makes you feel as though you and Liz are actually touring the Lowlands together. I smiled and ahhhhhed all the way through, and I know you will, too. If you've some Scottish plaid in your background, or even if you haven't, you'll love this book."
   —Angela Elwell Hunt, author of The Elevator 

"Oh, how I wish I had read this exquisite book before my first bungling trip to Scotland—or better yet—had the effervescent Liz for my guide! Her eye for detail never fails, and her heart is even more true than her sight. With loving care, Liz shares it all with her reader in a wonderful you-are-there, conversational style."
   —Donna Fletcher Crow, author of The Fields of Bannockburn

"A delightful excursion into the Lowlands of Scotland begins with page one as Liz Curtis Higgs takes you along to visit favorite sites. Of special interest is Kirkcudbright where the historic town house of Sir Thomas MacLellan, Lord Kirkcudbright, takes center stage. Higgs's talent for painting pictures with words makes you feel at home, whether visiting eateries, bookshops, jewelry stores, or the Selkirk Arms. It's with a sense of sadness that you board the plane to fly home. I long to visit Galloway, but reading this delightful description of the land and the people is the next best thing!"
   —Nancy MacClellan Sears, Treasurer, Clan MacLellan

"A bonny blend of Liz's lyrical fiction and tantalizing Scotland facts told in an intimate style. Not only do we explore a beautiful country, but we also discover treasures about Liz Curtis Higgs. With her wit and stories, Liz charms residents and booksellers, just as she charms readers. After reading this book, I'd put my luggage in the right-hand-driving-car boot next to Liz's anytime. In fact, I feel as if I have."
   —Jane Kirkpatrick, author of All Together in One Place

"My Heart's In the Lowlands took me breathlessly away to bonny Scotland. Liz's signature style of writing—descriptive, loving, and generous—warms every page and every place, as if, indeed, God made her to write about this very spot of his good earth. This is a beautifully written book, and if it doesn't make you yearn to stroll among the verdant hills, wander into ancient churches and castles, and yes, drink pots and pots of hot tea, it isn't the fault of the writer. My Heart's In the Lowlands is the most delightful read I've had in many years. Liz's love of Scotland and her people shines like stained glass through every word."
