Lady's rock, Mull: The story of Catherine Campbell

Aug 21, 2024 | scotlandmag.com | Henrietta Easton

My new book, Lady’s Rock, has been both described as ‘chock full of gasp-inducing twists and turns’ and ‘a fascinating insight into the life of 16th-century Scottish clans’ and so I hope the book is a combination of historical, research-based fiction and a gripping thriller, full of suspense. The book is based in the early 16th century in the west of Scotland, both on the islands and the mainland. It explores themes like the clan system in Scotland, Celtic fosterage and the Lords of the Isles.

Elizabeth Stuart: The could-have-been queen

Aug 13, 2024 | scotlandmag.com | Kirsten Henton |Henrietta Easton

Words by Kirsten HentonThe only surviving daughter of King James VI of Scotland and Queen Anne of Denmark, Elizabeth Stuart, renowned for her beauty and intelligence, remains strangely in the shadows of Scottish – and British – history. An educated woman of conviction, her life was shaped by political and religious events at home and overseas, yet she was much admired across Britain and the continent.
The best train journeys in scotland

Aug 12, 2024 | scotlandmag.com | Ailsa Sheldon |Henrietta Easton

This year, Scotland’s most luxurious train, the Royal Scotsman, is offering guests the chance to spend two nights travelling through the Highlands in style with a Michelin-starred chef in the kitchen. This must surely be top of the list of the best train journeys in Scotland. To journey on the Royal Scotsman is to step into a more opulent world: think refined Edwardian country-house style, polished lacquer panelling, and an observation car with an open-air veranda at the back of the train.
The glenturret lalique: whisky and two michelin-starred dining

Aug 11, 2024 | scotlandmag.com | Henrietta Easton

It was a blue-skyed spring day when I arrived at The Glenturret Distillery, hidden in a pretty little glen in a bucolic corner of Perthshire. As the River Turret babbled past, its banks lush with wild garlic, a warm breeze blew the enticing scent of malt my way – “it’s like this every day”, I was told. Though I knew that not to be true (it’s Scotland, after all), it was a wonderful thought. The river’s an important place to start here, because in its Latin form, ‘Glenturret’ means ‘rushing stream’.

Clootie dumplings: Proof of the pudding

Jun 13, 2024 | scotlandmag.com | Cat Thomson |Henrietta Easton

The origins of the clootie dumpling, that much-loved Scottish pudding, are vague. A plainer version of plum puddings or Christmas puddings, clootie dumpling are believed to date back to medieval times and in the 17th century, there was a popular tradition of hiding charms, tuppences or thruppenny bits inside them for good luck. The “clootie” part of the name comes from the Scots word for cloth, which refers to the cloth in which the pudding was wrapped while steamed.
