Try Hermo freeA story set where you are headed can turn the journey into part of the trip. For Scotland, that means children's books by authors and illustrators from Scotland, starting with Katie Morag Delivers the Mail by Mairi Hedderwick. Below are three books worth packing, each available in English with links to find them at Bookshop.org or Amazon.
Island life, ferries, family and small community drama on the fictional Isle of Struay.
Selkies, kelpies and Scottish folklore retold.
Not by a Scottish creator, but a fun sightseeing adventure with a friendly Loch Ness Monster.
