Embark on an extraordinary journey through Scotland's rich tapestry of land, lore, and legacy with this Sunday Times bestseller. Andrew McAlindon, a passionate Scotsman and renowned tour guide, invites readers to explore the hidden wonders of his beloved homeland.
From the breathtaking vistas of Scotland's untamed wilderness to the whispered secrets of its towns and villages, Andy's enthusiasm for his country is infectious. As one of Scotland's most sought-after guides, both in person and online, he traverses the nation, unearthing tales from ancient castles, forgotten cemeteries, mysterious burial chambers, and long-abandoned prisons. Through his eyes, readers will discover the unique blend of history, folklore, and superstition that makes Scotland truly extraordinary.
Lochs and Legends is Andy's heartfelt tribute to Scotland, a passion ignited by his role in the global phenomenon Outlander and fuelled by an insatiable curiosity about the true star of the show - Scotland itself. Known to his legion of social media followers as Andy the Highlander, his debut book unlocks Scotland's secrets for armchair explorers and intrepid travellers alike.
Join Andy on a captivating time-travelling adventure, treading in the footsteps of royalty, nobles, rogues, farmers, poets, invading armies, and ordinary folk. This remarkable guide offers an unprecedented glimpse into the heart of Scotland, revealing a land steeped in legend and brimming with untold stories.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
