Reviews

[Wendy Hamill · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of fictional stories, by a number of authors, some familuar, some not, at a number of historic places, set in a variety of time periods. Some interesting, some violent, and one, set, modern day, at Edinburgh Castle that was positively disturbing in a way that could trigger and really upset some people. So unnecessary, even in a collection called bloody Scotland I was unfamiliar with this author, Denise Mina, but let's just say, I just don't understand how, that was what she came up with when asked to contribute. Sick and twisted.

Ugh, some of the stories were just too unnecessarily disturbing. I did enjoy being introduced to these historic places in Scotland and a look into their true stories.
