Before I ever stepped foot on Scottish soil, I had already walked the moors with ghosts, lingered at candlelit windows with star-crossed lovers, and stood at the edge of ancient stone circles, waiting for the air to shimmer.
That’s the magic of a Scotland literary tour—the way it weaves imagination and history into something deeply personal. It’s why I created this journey: to bring the stories we’ve loved on the page to life, and to give book lovers a travel experience that feels like stepping into their favorite novel.
From April 18–25, 2026, I’m hosting a 7-night, bookish-as-heck, soul-stirring retreat through the heart of Scotland—and I’d love for you to be part of it.
📚 What Makes This Scotland Literary Tour So Special?
This isn’t just a tour. It’s a storybook adventure, intentionally crafted for thoughtful travelers who want something more meaningful, more magical, and yes—more literary.
Whether you’re an Outlander devotee, a Harry Potter fan, or just someone who finds comfort in quiet moments and foggy hills, this journey is about slowing down and soaking in the story.
