We all know that corned beef, ham and salami contain nitrates or salt petre to keep them pink which, as far as I am concerned, more than a bit yukky. I know it has been used for centuries but people smoked tobacco for longer and look how that turned out. Someone asked me to share a recipe for corned beef so I set to work. There is a process you need to understand before jumping into this area of cooking. It is a very simple process and completely safe as long as you understand it. I realized as my toddler begged me for my attention that the best way for me to explain this is to use someone elses explanation (no need to reinvent the wheel right) Thank you Kathleen. Kathleen uses the pickl-it assuming you do not have one of these you can use a ziplock bag, or a very clean ceramic/glass bowl (don't use metal). I have made my own bacon and ham and it is absolutley delicious! Totally worth the effort...it is not pink and that is a good thing!!! Enjoy Sonia Find original page with pictures here. /blo ...

I *have* eaten Nettles, but they were cooked and their spines no longer as spiny. They were eaten by starving Scots, the winter of the Highland Clearances. If you don't know about the Highland Clearances, take just a minute to read about it. It was a brutal partnership between the Scottish aristocracy and the Scottish government. The Highland Clearances (Scottish Gaelic: Fuadach nan Gàidheal, the "expulsion of the Gael") was the forced displacement of a significant number of people in the Scottish Highlands during the 18th and 19th century, as a result of an agricultural revolution (also known as enclosure) carried out by hereditary aristocratic landowners, such as the Duke of Sutherland. The changes were seen to be supported by the government, who gave financial aid for roads and bridges to assist the new sheep-based agriculture and trade. There was mass forced emigration to the sea coast, the Scottish Lowlands and the North American colonies. The clearances were particularly notorious as a result of .. ...

Scottish News: Oil rig worker dies after fall: A man has died after a fall on an oil rig in the Highlands.
On 6 March 1923, Scotland's first radio broadcast took place. The broadcast took place from Rex House, 202 Bath Street in Glasgow. The BBC's founder, Lord Reith of Stonehaven, opened the station. Orchestra, pipe band, choir, solo singers, actors and speech makers were all squeezed into a small attic for the first broadcast. By the summer of 1924, stations had opened in Edinburgh and Aberdeen, and, by the eve of the Second World War, over 90% of the Scottish population were served by BBC transmitters. If you were a DJ, what song would you play to commemorate the event?

SF Ballet Program 4 Scotch Symphony in Motion (Photos) Rating for SF Ballet Program 4 5 San Francisco, CA -- Some may think that you are going to see a bit of Scottish Dancing with a bit of Ballet thrown in the side with the first of three pieces performed by the SF Ballet in Scotch Symphony but you would be DEAD WRONG. The late famed Choreographer George Balanchine brings a life to this ballet utilizing music from Mendelssohn and a form of Scottish Dancing that leaves you asking "How on Earth do they do that?" Integrating Highland styling into classical ballet steps but making it all seem completely natural is something that needs to be seen to be believed. The motions are very fast but very well blended.

Robb (surname) Robb is a surname of Scottish origin, formed from a diminution (reduction) of the name Robert. Robert was a popular name, especially after its use by three Scots Kings in the fourteenth century. Rob started to be used as a surname in the decades before 1500 with early groupings in Aberdeenshire, Lanarkshire and Perthshire/Stirlingshire. The surname originated as Rob, sometimes Robe, but the vast majority of families had added an extra 'b' by 1800, an exception being a wealthy farming family that settled in Thirsk, Yorkshire. Although the surname originates in Scotland, Protestant branches of the family settled in Ireland during the sixteenth century Plantations, amongst them the Robb of Timpany family. Although largely a Protestant name Father John Rob was appointed Rector to the Scots College in Douai in 1632, and Father Thomas Rob to the same post in 1671. Along with Robb of Timpany the other armorial Robb family used the surname Robe, descending from Reverend James Robe of Kilsyth (1688 ...

Zoe and her friend Faith played outside at our house all day Saturday with me giving visual checks now and then as I did my housework. They were in building mode...dragging stuff from all over the yard and building some kind of fortification around Zoes' swing set. After it was time for Zoe to come in she was telling me about the fun things she and Faith had been doing and it seems I missed some stuff. She told me they had been doing "Scottish Things" ? Upon further quizzing by me it turns out they found an old fence post by the neighbors house and were doing the Caber toss. Yep. The Highland Games were held in my own yard and i missed them. Thanks to the movie Brave for teaching Zoe how to do the Caber Toss. That is so something I would have done as a kid. :o)
We continue with our reread of DANGEROUS HIGHLANDER... “Stay here,” Lucan murmured. Cara wrapped her arms around herself. She was used to the Highland weather, but the damp down here was seeping into her bones. It didn’t help that she didn’t have her shoes or stockings to help warm her legs. Light flared and she glanced inside the room to see Lucan setting a torch in its holder on the wall. He motioned her forward. Her gaze fell on the door and the lock he had opened. “Am I to be a locked away now?” Lucan shook his head. “I’ve no time for explanations, only time to get you safe.” “From what? The storm?” “The creature you saw.” She stilled. The hairs on her arms stood on end as a fear raked down her back. “Creature?” “I don’t know why its here. But we will find out.” He pulled her inside the room and turned to leave. The thought of staying by herself made her blood turn to ice even as sweat covered her skin. “Where are you going?” She tried to hide the pan ...

Some Scottish health boards do not know the majority of their patients’ ethnicity, hampering efforts to reduce health inequalities. A report has revealed that, in some areas, the ethnic background of more than three-quarters of those who come through hospital doors is unknown. That means health chiefs may miss crucial clues locally which may be causing inequalities in health among ethnic minorities, who are often among the most deprived and vulnerable. For example, people from Indian backgrounds are more at risk of heart attacks and angina, while black Caribbean men are more vulnerable to strokes. The latest figures from ISD Scotland have revealed a postcode lottery across the country, with other health boards recording the ethnic background of more than 90 per cent of patients. Health inequalities across Scotland remain stark, despite efforts to reduce the gap between rich and poor in recent years, and ethnicity forms part of the problem. Men in Scotland’s poorest areas can expec ...

The international reputation of Scotland’s fashion industry is, by no means, a recent development. From our traditional Highland dress - the kilt - which dates back to the 16th century, to the contemporary designers currently gracing the catwalks and glossy pages of our fashion magazines, Scottish fashion has enviable credentials, which not only put us on the fashion map but also generate 9,500 jobs and a turnover of £756 million each year. The sector also exports to more than 150 countries worldwide, and has a vibrant future – underpinned by the quality, diversity, innovation and design of Scottish fashion.

We CAN be a force for good in the world! Thanks so much for all your support, and we'll see you on March 9!

Off topic question, are you a dog owner? If so, what dog do you have?
The Roses of Scotland Clan Rose traces its origin to deRos, a Norman knight who emigrated to the Moray Firth area early in the thirteenth century along with two other Normans, deBosco and deBisset. deRos was granted the lands of Geddes in Strathnairn and deBisset the lands of Kilravock. deRos later acquired Kilravock through marriage. It was a turbulent area and era. The Scottish kings in Edinburgh deliberately fostered the feudal system whereby the King owned all land and granted it to his chosen followers. But Strathnairn was very much a part of the Highlands where quite another system was in vogue. The old Highland Clan was a family in which the Chief acted as father of his people. They followed him in war, obeyed him in matters of justice, but the Loyalty he received was by consent of the family. Further, in contrast to the Lowlands, Gaelic was the common tongue, the kilt the common dress, the pipe and the harp were the common source of music. John (Macdonald), Lord of the Isles, was the accepted sove ...
Private George Overend, 14751, ‘B’ Coy., 6th Bn., Royal Scots Fusiliers, from Brackagh, died on 26 September 1915 on the second day of the Battle of Loos. The 6th Battalion was formed in Ayr in August 1914. Private Overend enlisted in Ayr on 28 October 1914 and then travelled to Aldershot where he underwent training. The Battalion landed at Boulogne on 15 May 1915. At the Battle of Loos, Private Overend’s Battalion was the reserve battalion for 27th Brigade 9th (Scottish) Division. The Battalion had moved up to the Front Line on the night before and had spent the early hours of the 25th preparing for the attack. The 6th Battalion of the King’s Own Scottish Borderers and the 10th Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry went over the top at 6.30 a.m.. They were attacking towards three strongly fortified German positions – to the left The Dump, to the centre the Hohenzollern Redoubt and to the right the Fosse trenches. As soon as the Highland Light Infantry had cleared the trenches the Royal ...

Description: A fierce temper, a fascination with all things explosive, and a terrible plan to kill the Loch Ness Monster cost the six year old Demoman his original set of adoptive parents. Later, at the Crypt Grammar School for Orphans near Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands, the boy's bomb-making skills improved dramatically. His disposition and total number of intact eyeballs, however, did not. Word of his proficiency with explosives spread, and it was not long before Crypt Grammar received two visitors; the Demoman's real parents, who lovingly explained that all Demomen are abandoned at birth until their skills manifest themselves, a long-standing, cruel, and wholly unnecessary tradition among the Highland Demolition Men. His unhappy childhood had ended, but his training had just begun godammit why cant my life be that cool

I am glad to see the queen has been released from hospital after recovering from a nasty bout of gastroternipitus.

Hi Guys Thought I'd drop you all a line to let you know what Team SLR plans are for the coming season & with a little continued help & backing from you guys I'm sure it'll be a season to remember... Our original plan was to cover British Championship (BSB) & World Championship although due to the lack of funding so far we have no option other than to opt for the less expensive alternative & do the worlds. yes it sounds strange that travelling all over Europe is the lesser in monetary terms than our domestic championship!

Although records on Highland cattle first brought to this country from Scotland are rather obscure, due to the fact that there was no registry for them, we know there were small importations, made from time to time. Highland cattle may have been brought to the east coast states in the 1920s.
Today's goal: trick Lori into eating a plate of haggis. If you're not familiar with haggis, it's made by chopping livers, lungs, hearts, and other organs into little pieces and cooking them inside a sheep stomach. It's very Scottish, and I fear Lori can't really say she's been to Scotland unless she eats some. Of course, if she DOES eat haggis, she may never want to return. But it's a chance I'm willing to take -- for her benefit.
I'm sure that Scots are the most repressed and oppressed people in the country. Where else will you find people born and bred here who wilfully participate in the cultures and politics of other countries while wearing their disdain for their own country and culture on their sleeve? I'm a Lowland-Scot, a Highland-Scot, an Anglo-Scot and an Irish-Scot; notice the recurring theme? It is socially acceptable in Scotland to scoff at and mock Scottish culture. An unique set of circumstances in 'Modern' Britain.

This picture doesn't tell the whole story, though. Natural resources and a mature economy are no guarantee of economic success. That comes down to politicians creating the right environment for the nation to thrive. However, self-determination, aka independence, gives us the freedom to make our own choices on how we gather our own revenues and use them to better the nation and not just the privileged few, as is the case now as part of the UK. Yes we have oil and gas, and no, it's not going to run out any time soon. It is currently worth around £1.5trillion, with more research likely to produce more strikes. We also have a strong food and drink sector, with whisky being the UK's most valuable food and drink export, as well as raising huge amounts of tax revenue and VAT in the UK. Scotland has more universities in the World Top 200 per head than any other nation in the world. Our universities also produce more scientific papers per head than any other nation; in fact, taking proportionality out of it, we . ...

Tuesday August 29, 4:12 PM Princes keep anniversary of Diana's death low-key The third anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, on Thursday, is expected to pass with only low-key remembrance. Prince William, Diana's 18-year-old son, will be away from home on the latest leg of his gap year between school and university. And Prince Harry, who is 16 in two weeks' time, will be with his father, the Prince of Wales, at Balmoral, the Queen's private estate in the Scottish Highlands. It was at Balmoral, on August 31, 1997, that the Prince of Wales told William and Harry about the Paris car crash which took their mother's life. Charles and Harry were with the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the 100-year-old Queen Mother at Crathie Church, Balmoral, last Sunday. Prayers were said although Diana was not mentioned by name, as is traditional in the Church of Scotland. The Princess's brother, Earl Spencer, is expected to spend the anniversary quietly at Althorp, the Spencer family's ancestral home where ...

From the Bridge of Orchy the road passes Loch Tulla before climbing a two and half mile switch back up Black Mount and into the Scottish Highlands. At the end of the climb is Rannoch Moor, inhospitable and windswept. After 16 miles the road descends through the valley of Glen Coe to the shores of Loch Leven. The road then follows Loch Linnhe to Fort William. We cycle along the shores of Loch Lochy and Loch Ness before we arrive at Lewiston, on the shores of Loch Ness, after a day’s ride of 90 miles. this is my stage at the minute 16 miles to end and only 160 more miles to go in total
A No-Risk Life By Elisabeth Elliot The risks people are prepared to take these days are certainly a different set from what they used to be. I have been reading what Dickens and Kipling said about travel in their times. The reason I have been reading Dickens and Kipling just now when I am also trying to catch up with Solzhenitsyn and C. S. Lewis (I never catch up with Lewis--I have to start over as soon as I've finished one of his books because while I am always completely convinced by his argument I find I can't reproduce it for somebody else so I have to go back) is that a friend asked me to take care of some books she had just inherited from a rich aunt. But it was risks I started out to write about. Dickens describes a journey into the Scottish Highlands: When we got safely to the opposite bank, there came riding up a wild highlander, his great plaid streaming in the wind, screeching in Gaelic to the post-boy on the opposite bank, making the most frantic gestures. The boy, horses and carriage were plu ...

Winter Resort is an artist led expedition to the Scottish Highlands in March of 2013. For Winter Resort, the artists will stay in a Mountain Bothy and endure harsh climatic conditions with an endeavour to remain on site until the project is realised and resolved. The artists will travel with no materials making the human mind in isolation the subject of the event. Due to the very remote location, the work will be without an audience. Although the artists will have prepared for this mission, the outcome is unpredictable. Winter Resort is a follow up project to Resort, an event that took place on a trail that ran from a cliffside down to a beach, in Portsalon, Donegal, May 2012. Participating Artists: Roisin Beirne – Clare Breen – Peter Donellan – Andreas Kindler Von Knobloch – John Ryan – Tom Watt
Downton Abbey fans. In Sunday's episode, the family takes a trip to the Scottish Highlands: September 1921. The Crawley family heads north, to Duneagle Castle in Scotland - the ancestral home of The MacClare family - to visit Lady Rose.
I spotted this very pretty house on the shores of Loch Lomond in the Scottish Highlands on a trip last year.
Handfasting is an alternate form of marriage ceremony. It dates back hundreds of years, and spans several cultures. In some cultures (as in the Scottish Highlands), it was a marriage of a "year and a day". If at the end of the year, the couple found that they were incompatible, and there were no children, they could part. Otherwise, they could agree to remain together, and the marriage then became a legal and lifelong bond. In other cultures, it was a complete, fully binding ceremony from the start. In some remote areas, it was a simply a means of marriage between two people where no "clergy" or other official party could be found to perform a ceremony. In this case, the couple needed only to express their desire to be joined as one, and that was considered a legally binding contract. Oft-times the couple would have their hands bound together for part of the ceremony. The binding of hands, which gives us the expression "Tying the Knot," has been done using ribbon, cord, rope, specially embro ...
United Kingdom, Scotland, Chalamain Gap area, Description: A number of people have been caught up in an avalanche in the Scottish Highlands and three are "possibly unaccounted for", Northern Constabulary said.

With just two weeks to go before we set off I think I've managed to definately finalise the route.here's the schedule below. Feb 24th Jerry & I set off for Loch Morar in Lochaber. Early March we head north for Loch Assynt in Sutherland spending two weeks working our way south looking for Red Deer & taking in breathtaking scenery whilst moving towards the Summer Isles in the mouth of Loch Broom After spending some time on Isle Martin further down Loch Broom (courtesy of the Isle Martin Trust) it'll be inland to tiny Loch Achall for a few days taking us towards the end of March.

April will roll into May, taking us to the coast again to Ardtoe & Kentra Bay, still in the Scottish Highlands. If the weather is fa ...
Just finished the latest novel by Ian Rankin, Standing In Another Man's Grave. It is one of his best! So good to have John Rebus back as the lead character.

EXTREME WEATHER ANOMALIES: Severe Winds, Snow Lash The United Kingdom - Rare Thundersnow Wakes Shivering Britons From Their Slumber As Country Braced For Return Of MORE SNOW And Gales! A potent storm across the northern Atlantic is the culprit behind high winds blasting the United Kingdom. Windy and stormy weather will persist into Tuesday, causing treacherous travel. The highest winds have been targeting the northwestern coast of Scotland as well as the higher elevations. A 120-mph gust (193 kph) and sustained winds of 77 mph (123 kph) were recorded on top of Cairngorm Summit at an elevation of around 4,085 feet early Monday morning, according to Mark Vogan. Generally, winds of 40-60 mph (64-96 kph) will impact lower elevations and inland areas of Scotland, including Glasgow and Edinburgh. Many bridges have been closed due to the high winds, according to Traffic Scotland. The combination of the howling winds and snow will lead to blizzard conditions for the Scottish Highlands into Tuesday. More than h .. ...

WOW! What a fabulous show last night, celebrating Robert Burns' birth in 1759 - Tartanic rocked the Pavilion at the San Marcos Golf Resort with their own special sounds of Highland bagpipes and drums - pounding music, comedy and dance from Adrian Walter, Will, Johnny, Matt and Trisha (with her hoop of course)! The weather held, but music rained down on faithful followers and new friends & admirers! The Highland Legacy Pipes & Drums Band, led by Richard Knowles, including Chandler's own piper William Thayer, opened the evening with the traditional tunes of the Scottish Highlands - a real crowd pleaser! Jim Daugherty spun Robert Burns' "Ode to a Haggis" - with a very credible accent! This successful Concert - which we hope to repeat next year! - will help underwrite travel expenses for our Pioneer Student Ambassadors to visit Chandler's Sister City, Tullamore, Ireland this coming June.

METRO Life in the freezer by TARIQ TAHIR FRESH snow is due to hit today as Britain heads into a ‘once in a decade’ week of freezing temperatures as low as -20C. Worst-hit will be the north-east and Scotland where up to 20cm (7in) of snow is expected on high ground. Flurries are forecast for much of the rest of the country as the thermometer plummets towards levels normally seen in a domestic freezer. Weather Channel forecaster Leon Brown said: ‘We expect very cold conditions to last another week. A two-week period such as this, with sub-zero nights and days close to freezing, is a one in ten-year occurrence. ‘We could see -15C to -20C lows later in the week in the Midlands, mid-Wales and Scottish Highlands.’ The warnings come after another weekend of disruption caused by bad weather, which saw up to 8cm (3in) of snow fall across the south-east, Midlands, east and north-east. Yesterday, Heathrow airport cancelled 260 flights – about one in five of its of usual capacity. One in ten scheduled dep ...
We got back to our home in Malawi yesterday. Phew: despite the dire warnings in all newspapers and on all TV channels, we managed to drive through the Scottish Highlands, AND travel on the overnight sleeper from Inverness to London (a great journey!) AND fly out of Heathrow on Saturday. Maybe that is all of our "good fortune" for the year used up already? It was great to see Adam, Maria, Hannah, Steady and (almost) all of the family while we were over there. It is just a shame we could not meet up with more of our UK friends. Better planning for next time! OK, it is job-search time now.
Snow is expected to blanket the UK for the next week, with no end of the big freeze in immediate sight. The prediction of prolonged cold weather will bring a further chill to commuters and holidaymakers after two days of snow brought airports and transport networks to a shuddering halt. Large parts of the UK will experience further snowfall on Sunday, with up to 4cm falling in the West and North and 6cm in the East Midlands, East Anglia and the South East, including London. Up to 10cm could fall in local areas, and 15cm on higher ground, weather experts said. The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for ice for much of the country and advised people to take extra care as snow turns to ice in the sub-zero conditions. While thousands of passengers were stranded at Heathrow airport for a second day on Saturday amid grounded planes, four climbers were swept to their deaths in an avalanche in the Scottish Highlands. They were climbing on Bidean Nam Bian near Glencoe when a snow-covered slope is believed to ha ...
The big freeze across the UK is here to stay, with more snow expected next week. With travel chaos across the country and Britain's busiest airport being likened to a "refugee camp" amid more than 110 cancelled flights, forecasters predicted further misery in the coming days. And on Saturday four people were killed and a woman seriously injured after a party of six climbers were hit by an avalanche at Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands. Emergency services were alerted to the accident on Bidean Nam Bian, in Glencoe, this afternoon and a major search operation involving two mountain rescue teams and police dogs was launched. Following Friday's deluge of snow, much of Saturday's snowfall was limited to the north east of England and the east of Scotland. But on Sunday a blanket of snow is expected to fall across more of the nation, hitting London and the South East of England first before moving north. Laura Caldwell, of MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "There will be a few snow ...
Four climbers killed in avalanche in Scottish Highlands
The Goddess Brighid Like many Pagan holidays, Imbolc has a Celtic connection as well, although it wasn’t celebrated in non-Gaelic Celtic societies. The Irish goddess Brighid is the keeper of the sacred flame, the guardian of home and hearth. To honor her, purification and cleaning are a wonderful way to get ready for the coming of Spring. In addition to fire, she is a goddess connected to inspiration and creativity. Brighid is known as one of the Celtic "triune" goddesses -- meaning that she is one and three simultaneously. The early Celts celebrated a purification festival by honoring Brighid, or Brid, whose name meant "bright one." In some parts of the Scottish Highlands, Brighid was viewed as Cailleach Bheur, a woman with mystical powers who was older than the land itself. Brighid was also a warlike figure, Brigantia, in the Brigantes tribe near Yorkshire, England. The Christian St. Brigid was the daughter of a Pictish slave who was baptised by St. Patrick, and founded a community of nuns at Kildare, ...

((Some Folklore , Spirits and Goblins. Black Donald - the devil - who cannot disguise his cloven feet. Boobrie - water-bird of the Scottish Highlands. Brownie - good-natured, invisible brown elves or household goblins. The younger version of the "Girl Guides" in Britain at least, are called "Brownies" for that very reason! Clootie - another Scottish name for the Devil. The name comes from cloot, meaning one division of a cleft hoof. Fachan - one leg, one arm and one eye. Fionn - Scottish/Pictish magician, warrior and poet. Ghillie Dhu - a solitary Scottish elf. Kelpie - a water devil. Lothian - Lothian traditionally takes its name from King Lot and father of Mordred.

tonight we are holed up in a sweet B&B with around 100 windy stairs to the top. the view is magical, there is free wifi and we have a room for three overlooking the church across the road. today was the coldest we have been. we started the morning in Tain, which was beautiful and after brekkie walked to the old church ruin and graveyard. it was the most beautifully kept grounds i have ever seen. Kristina found the ruins she came all the way to scotland to find which was amazing. We then jumped in the car and headed for the snowfield so I could get to see the snowfall. well, my god, the wind just ripped off the mountain and straight through our bones. bolted from the car into the shop (imagine little michelin men running) only to be told it is way too mild for snow. :( mild omg. so from the highest point in the Scottish Highlands after two mins (because we were iceblocks) we headed to Stirling.

UK WEEK AHEAD WEATHER: Starting mild, cloudy & damp but turning colder at end of week with E to NE wind, night frosts & maybe some wintry showers. The following week (middle of Jan) is still very uncertain. The current weather charts are showing signs that it could turn very cold with some heavy sleet & snow showers and hard frosts. It could simply become less cold again with mild westerly/south westerly winds. Back in Time ... UK Winter of 1947: Started very mild like in Jan 2013. The winter began with two periods of cold weather in December 1946 and January 1947, but the coldest period did not begin until 21 January 1947. The main cause of the cold weather was an anti-cyclone which sat over Scandinavia from 20 January. This high pressure area blocked the progression of low pressure depressions across the Atlantic Ocean and forced them to the south of the United Kingdom resulting in strong easterly winds, which brought snow to Eastern England and South East England before progressing across the entire co ...

187 days left on my penny drive. Below is my daily dose of anything penny. A Scottish lad and lass were sitting together on a heathery hill in the Highlands. They had been silent for a while; then the lass said, "A penny for your thoughts." The lad was a bit abashed, but he finally said, "Well, I was thinkin' how nice it would be if ye'd give me a wee bit of a kiss”. So she did so. But he again lapsed into a pensive mood which lasted long enough for the lass to ask him, "What arre ye thinkin' now?" To which the lad replied: "Well, I was hopin' ye hadn't forgot the penny!"

It's such a beautiful area. I truly love the Scottish Highlands!
So even in the complete darkness and absolute silence of the Scottish Highlands,Harry still insists on a 5:45am start to his day.
I just finished A Lady Most Willing by Julia Quinn, Eloisa James and Connie Brockway. It's a novel in three parts. Three parts of a story by three different authors. It was seamlessly written. I couldn't tell who wrote each story even though each writer has their own wonderfully unique voice. What a fun read! I loved each couple and how they came to love one another while snowbound in a drafty Scottish Highlands castle. I started the book with a smile on my face and ended it in the same way. You gotta get your hands on this one!
