Let's go, shall we? My Heart's in the Lowlands: Ten Days in Bonny Scotland is an entertaining armchair travel guide to Dumfries and Galloway—the land where fictional Jamie, Leana, Rose, and Davina have roamed through our imaginations, and where fascinating, real characters live today! Click here to see what readers are saying… Side by side, page by page, you and I will travel the rolling hills and glens of the Scottish Lowlands without truly crossing the pond, changing time zones, or driving on the left side of the road (though we can pretend, can't we?). Our itinerary includes quaint villages and crumbling castles, antiquarian bookshops and charming tearooms, grand old churches and hedge-lined gardens. Och, it's a ferlie place!

And did I mention we'll have fun?! The style of My Heart's in the Lowlands is very
personal and chatty—it's just the two of us on holiday, landing in Glasgow,
hopping in our hired car, and tooling south toward Dumfries and Galloway,
with road
maps in hand. Writing this book was pure joy for me. I do hope you'll come along
for the ride! Click here to
"An absolutely delightful armchair travel book." With contagious enthusiasm, best-selling novelist Liz Curtis Higgs guides you through the verdant countryside of South West Scotland, the setting for her beloved series of historical novels. A gregarious, well-seasoned traveler, Higgs deftly directs your attention to all the best bits as you meet the colorful folk who call Galloway home. "Her eye for detail never fails, and her heart is even more true than her sight." More than just a travel guide—truly unique in its
approach—My Heart's in the Lowlands showcases Higgs's decade-long love affair with Scotland, fueled by
nine trips and hundreds of research books. Four dozen sketches by Lowland artist, Simon Dawdry, enhance Higgs's vivid descriptions of the land, people, and culture of Galloway. I consider Galloway the country's best-kept secret: a place
where time holds its breath, where ancient ruins dot the countryside in moss-covered splendor, where the natives are
friendly and the tourists are few, only because they don't know what they're missing.
