In Focus
Cairnholy
I Chambered Cairn is a spectacular chambered cairn on the southern slopes of Cairnholy Hill,

as a place of burial. ( More ...)

A fast-paced thriller set mainly in central Scotland and the far north-west. Callum Anderson is in Scotland to scatter
his father’s ashes when he’s asked by a cousin to look for her missing sister, Alexandra. With his life in London in tatters

own hunter finds him?
