Where are going to this weekend?

A short visit to Boswell Castle in this short story so a nice one to delve into if you’re after a short break. To a castle. Where you get locked in…
GLASGOW IN THE 1970S
Witness the Dead – Craig Robertson
You might want to head a bit further afield once in Scotland and head over to Glasgow. If you do, take Craig Robertson with you. He’s a criminally good guide to the city’s dark side.In Witness the Dead, he goes back to 1972 and evokes the city at the time – with murderous tales then and now.
