The Ghosting Mackays of Scotland

The Twins of Strathnaver is Coming Soon!

The Mackays of Tongue have rules for a reason: To leave is to unleash The Doom. 

Hugh and Margaret Mackay have always loved the four ghosts of Strathnaver. Through Scotland’s turbulent centuries, their ancestors preserved the tenuous filament that allows the ghosts to remain earthbound. But as August 1997 draws to a close, a man arrives from London in desperate pursuit of fame and the legend of long-lost Jacobite gold with its ghostly guardian. 

Louis Talbot is much more than a treasure hunter wielding a metal detector. On the run from the Metropolitan Police for fraud, the tabloid journalist needs just one massive story to pull the weight of the News of the World—and its lawyers—behind him and keep him out of prison. Armed with a strange book and its tantalizing account of a family who can speak to the ghost, Louis sets his sights on the vulnerable, ostracized, lonely Margaret Mackay.

Louis is well-versed in seduction and betrayal and he’s sure it will be child’s play to convince Margaret to give up her family secrets. As Hugh allies himself with the ghosts to protect the land from The Doom, Margaret is drawn deeper and deeper into Louis’ web. 

In desperate hope of a new life Margaret allies herself with Louis and Hugh is forced to confront the truth of his own his place in Margaret’s downfall. As myths become dangerous realities the cost of their failure will be nothing less than the destruction and death of everything they’ve ever known.
