This is a part of Scotland in all its natural and historical glory and the author has done an outstanding job of bringing the reader into both.  But I think the part of the story I loved the best was our easy going, happy hero, a man of the 'elite' strata of society,  an Englishman in the heart of proud Scotland ...who has gentle rejoinders to every caustic comment thrown his way by the his academic, intensely feeling heroine, keeping the twinkle in his eye as she constantly puts him down for his upper crust life style. Silent rivers run deep and are not all what they seem on the surface. And in the end he wins it all .. her love ... and her dog.  I truly think that this was one of the most romantic books, in the old meaning of romance, that I have ever read.  This is a gentle and heavenly read!!!
