Help with book on Scottish theme

I too enjoyed the Lilian Beckwith books years ago

The Lilian Beckwith books are lovely. I also had forgotten about them, and read them as a young ‘housewife’. I used to have the whole series and enjoyed them very much. Thanks Marelli for the reminder.

Mary Stewart. Stormy Petrel set on an imaginary island off Mull.

Kate Atkinson or Ian Rankin

Anne Cleves Shetland novels

"Marelli", I had forgotten about Lillian Beckwith, I read "The Hills are lonely" when I was only a slip of a girl. You have tempted me to re-read. Thanks.

Peter May - The Black House (first book in a trilogy) - police thriller.

Jane Tulloch's tales of an Edinburgh department store could bring back memories.

Lilian Beckwith? Set in or around the 40's /50's, these are semi-autobiographical stories of a middle-aged Englishwoman who settles on a fictitious Hebriddean island.
I think The Hills is Lonely was her first book.

Thank you so much everyone. I’ll be sure to find something amongst those. Might try samples on Kindle to help me decide on a couple..

Novels.

Sealskin by Sue Bristow. It is historical, prob late 18C but it's on the theme of the enduring myth of the selkie.

This Is Where I Am by Karen Campbell. Contemporary.

The Crow Road by Iain Banks. contemporary.

In Another Light by Andrew Greig.

Witchlight by Susan Fletcher (historical)

You could also investigate novels by Janice Galloway, AL Kennedy and Ali Smith.

Non-fiction

The Outrun by Amy Liptrott.

I do know that cant think why I wrote Cronin,I was talking about how he lived in a house near me which had a palque on the wall so I wrote the wrong name ,sorry

Presumably you want something with depth, if not the Hamish MacBeth books by M C Beaton are enjoyable.

Black Widow by Chris Brookmyre is a good read.

D K Broster. Blooming autocorrect.

Am just re-reading my dad's copy of Whisky Galore!

What about Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street. It's the first of a series set in Scotland.
If you'd like something historical, what about The Flight of the Heron by D K Broader about the Jacobite uprising.
Both good books but very different from each other.

39 steps was a John Buchan thriller. His sister, O. Douglas is much less well known but wrote some novels set in her beloved Scottish Borders. Worth a read.

What about a classic from A J Cronin ,the 39 Steps
