Scotland has an ancient history, with many fables and interesting characters.How good would it be to base a story/book in Scotland. I'm certain it would be a winner.

I so much want to visit Scotland someday. Such an old country with so much history. I think I could easily spend a few years there.
The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located somewhere in Scotland 
Welcome!
Maybe you can rewrite the story of William Wallace in a horror setting Call it Blackheart, starting William 'Blackheart' Wallace and his partner in crime, Robert the Bruise

I'm on the second in Jack Whyte's Guardian's series--the first was The Forest Laird and the one I'm on now is Robert the Bruce. And if you read romances, there are more Scots than you can shake a kilt at--lol. Any good Scottish authors you can recommend?
I will recommend a movie instead: Have you seen Trainspotting? Set in Scotland, grim but excellent movie.
...oh BS, you just wanna go for the libations...
I have, and read the book, too
Movie is much easier--lol.
Ah, the title of this thread made me think of JD.
Try 'The Wasp Factory',,Set on a Scottish Island , well worth a read. ian rankin is a well known Scottish author. Almost all of his books are set in Edinburgh,and are crime novels. Enjoy.
I'm sure SK could do a much better job than anyone.It would definitely make a good story.....What's keeping ya from writing one?

Trainspotting shows the underbelly of Scottish cities but is not representative of 'normal' Scots. Its a bit of an embarrassment.
Welcome Kenneth, good to have you here.
I just hope that if he does, he won't write Ewan Mcgregor to death... he and I might have some "issues", if he did.

Oh you did not just call my Ewan an embarrassment...
I don't think it is a story about Scotland being on life-destroying drugs, I think it is a human condition story. You should be proud, I think it held more layers than what we sometimes first see.
And.... Ewan is awesome.
Well, obviously, but it's a very good movie imho
The Wasp Factory f**ked my head up. But being part Scottish... I enjoyed having my head f**ked up.
and.... any thread that mentions Ewan is a damn good thread.
