Lochs & Legends: A Scotsman's Guide to the Heart of Scotland

Signed and dedicated by Andy the Highlander

A Sunday Times Bestseller, co-written by Andy the Highlander and Lilly Hurd of Find Her in the Highlands.

Our aim with this book is to open up Scotland’s incredible history and secrets to everyone, whether you’re visiting this amazing country in person or reading about it from an armchair with a cup of tea or dram of whisky. 

"From the majestic beauty of the wild Scottish landscape to the hidden traces of its history waiting to be uncovered in every town and village, Andrew McAlindon is enthralled by the country he is lucky enough to call home. As one of Scotland’s busiest tour guides in real life and online, Andy travels around the country to ancient sites such as castles, cemeteries, burial chambers and prisons, celebrating the history, folklore, superstitions and the fascinating people that make Scotland so unique.

Lochs and Legends is Andy’s love letter to Scotland, a love that began when he landed a part on the worldwide phenomenon Outlander, and led to him dedicating his life to learning more about the true star of the show – Scotland. A social media sensation as Andy the Highlander, his first book opens up Scotland’s secrets to anyone, even if they can only explore it from the comfort of their armchair. It invites you to time travel with Andy, walking in the footsteps of kings and queens, lairds and ladies, murderers, farmers, poets, invading armies, and everyday folks like himself. It is Scotland as you’ve never seen it before."
