Cath - Passports and Adventures
I don’t think we have any of them. I must check them out in greater detail as I’m sure there’s a few there my son would enjoy.

I’ve not heard of any of these! I am going to have a look into getting some of them. Since we went to Edinburgh at the end of last year the kids have been really interested in going to Scotland again so it would be good to get a couple of books before ours next visit.

We went to Scotland at Christmas and the lady who owned the house was called Morgag, which to me is so Scottish. So we would love to read the Katie Morgag one.

My kids love No such thing as a Nessie, such a fun book! Will have a look at some of these others x

Loving the Scottishness of these. So nice for kids to learn a little about other countries and cultures and traditions. What a lovely list.
