Research Journal

Every story begins with a journey.

My novels are built on more than imagination—they are rooted in real places, historical research and the landscapes of Scotland. From windswept coastlines and ancient castles to forgotten churches and hidden paths, each visit helps bring the past to life.

In my Research Journal, I share the places I explore, the discoveries I make, and the moments that inspire my writing. Along the way you'll find photographs, historical insights, behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative process, and the stories that shape my novels.

Whether you're a reader, history enthusiast or simply curious about Scotland's remarkable past, I invite you to join me as we uncover the stories hidden in its landscapes.
