Don you heavy woolen cloaks, light your lanterns and join us for an evening of hauntingly historic debuts. We're delighted to be joined by Danielle Giles, Mere, and Gabrielle Griffiths, Greater Sins, on Tuesday 8th April, at 7pm, as we celebrate the publication of their extraordinarily striking and mysteriously unsettling works of historical fiction. Danielle Giles, Mere Norfolk, 990 AD. Deep in the Fens, isolated by a vast and treacherous mere, an order of holy sisters make their home. Under the steely guidance of Abbess Sigeburg they follow God’s path, looking to their infirmarian, Hilda, to provide what comfort and cures she can. But when the mere takes a young servant boy, Sigeburg’s grip falters and Hilda quickly realizes this place holds secrets darker and more unholy than she can fathom. Then proud Sister Wulfrun, a recent arrival to the convent, has a vision: a curse is upon them and change must be brought. Is she saint or serpent? To Hilda, Wulfrun is a signal bolder and brighter than any fire set – one she cannot help but follow . . . Gabrielle Griffiths, Greater Sins 1915, the Cabrach, Aberdeenshire. An isolated Scottish community is disturbed by a strange discovery: a body in a peat bog, perfectly preserved. Two people haul the body from the ground: Lizzie, the wife of a wealthy local landowner, and Johnny, a nomadic singer and farm hand. At hearthside and inn, people whisper: what have we unearthed? One unveiling brings others. For Lizzie, tenacious but trapped, the discovery reveals unanswered questions about her past while for Johnny, it threatens to uncover a history he’s trying to outrun. As their stories entwine, a series of unsettling events befalls the isolated community: ruinous weather, a damaged soldier, strange occurrences that cannot be explained. Against the echoes of distant war, and with the boundaries blurring between right and wrong, everyone is looking for someone to blame… - Doors: 6.30pm, event starts: 7pm, please arrive early to secure a good seat.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

leotiger

Holly Luther Palace is worth a visit. When time permits, you must see Queen Mary&#39;s Palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds a garden party in the summer. It overlooks the throne of Arthur. The order of visits inside the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, immersive feeling the heavy atmosphere of history! !

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I came here once more than ten years ago, and this time it is different from the past. There are many more high-tech things, but a lot less original and original flavor. If you have time, you can experience it. There are interpreters in various languages, real-time, following the rhythm of the on-site tour guide, which is very convenient. You can also choose a whiskey to taste.

The Royal Mile, stretching from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, is lined with shops, restaurants, and historic sites. Attractions like St Giles&rsquo; Cathedral and the Scotch Whisky Experience offer rich cultural experiences. While it can be crowded during peak times, especially during the Edi

I didn&#39;t think this song was romantic before, until I climbed to the top of Carlton Mountain⛰️It was really speechless and beautiful!!
I really like this light blue gentle dusk~~Thanks to the little afterglow near sunset that day, I saw the light blue and light orange sky line in the distance, which was really extremely romantic~~Continuously touched me✨💕🌹Recommend this extremely romantic place, must go?
