**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**

A Scotsman’s guide to the extraordinary tapestry of the land, history, folklore and stories of his homeland.

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.

Legends told to by a legend

Andys narration is the phenomenal. The words and vistas come to life as your are lulled into a dream of Scotland

The stories and legends and the historical information.

This book is very enjoyable to listen to. Andy is an excellent narrator, because this book comes from the heart. He speaks very clearly and at the right pace and is a great storyteller. I liked the mixture of history, legend, and facts about history, the environment, customs, and the geography of Scotland. I suggest not listening to it in one shot, but breaking it up and really taking in the stories. I bought the audiobook and it was helpful to look at a map of Scotland and see where these places are located. The book also peaked my interest in learning more about Scottish history.

Close your eyes while you listen. You will see Scotland in your mind!

Great read and listen-especially since Andy the Highlander performs this for you! I loved every description and loved seeing many of these locations in 2022. I get the feeling this great book about SOME of the great locations in Scotland is just the tip of the iceberg! I see book two, three and more! There is so much more! Andy and Lilly, you have opened Scotland to the world and we are all so very fortunate to experience it. I can’t wait for more!❤️❤️

Great stories.

It's clear that this is a book written by someone who holds the stories close to his heart

to many to mention
