The Scotland Reading List
In 2020, we were going to spend half of our trip to Scotland in Cullen. We had this fabulous fishing cottage AirBnB booked. We also had our Scotland reading list of George MacDonald and Michael Phillips books that were set in and around Cullen. Naturally, we were excited about getting to experience all of the places that we had read about in the books. I’ve had several people ask if I would share that reading list. I am including links to Michael Phillips website and Wise Path Books where you can find the beautiful leather bound Sunrise Centenary books by George MacDonald, as well as the regular hardback and paperback editions. For those who, like me, want to conveniently carry all of the books around with them on an eReader, the books are also available on Amazon Kindle.
Here is the Scotland reading list given to our group by Michael Phillips and shared with his permission.
