Highland Spirits

Do you love Historic Romance novels? How about a romance tale and adventure to put ‘Lassie’ to shame? A love story part formed around a fine Scottish Deerhound named Cailean, a bonnie Lass named Pinkie and a simplified, focused, little piece of Highland history. There’s travel aplenty from the hei’lands to London, kidnabbing, castles and a guid auld ruff and tumble.

If you read Highland Spirits with the fun by which I’m sure it is intended, you may wish to read other works by the author, Amanda Scott. Follow the link for her home page and to discover the many other books she has had published. Amanda has a clear passion for setting her romantic love stories here in our homeland of Scotland and it’s interesting to read of locations we often visit.

I have also received favourable comment for the blog from the artist of the above ‘Foghound’ image and was also informed that I omitted credit here, and also on the Watt’s it all About? article featuring ‘Long View’ please note these works are ‘Copyright Trigg 2008’. I am only to happy include the credit - I’ll add,that when this image was discovered it was not in a location acknowledging the artist so it was not possible to contact her – fortunately she found this blog and should you wish to view examples of her fine art or perhaps contact her to commission a piece go here and say hello to Roasalind Trigg - tell her Rogue sent you.

Watt’s it all about ?

There has been no posting for quite some time – so today we’ll just say happy birthday to an inventor regarded by many as the creator of the ‘Modern World’.

James Watt

Should deerhounds celebrate the ‘Modern World’? After all, we almost disappeared because of it.


Well, we are still here and have evolved into existing comfortably within this world. Indeed, here’s the Rogue doing his best to communicate with other deerhounds worldwide through the medium of the modern internet connection.

But like James Watt did, we still love the ‘Legends and Lore’ of the Scottish people, especially as we are a large part of the legend and lore, history and culture of Scotland.

Happy Birthday James Watt.

As always, just follow the links to find out more.
