Ailish Sinclair trained as a dancer and taught dance for many years. She now lives beside a loch with her husband and two children where she writes, dances (yes still, medical conditions allowing) and eats a lot of chocolate.

BOOKS:

Her historical novels combine little-known dark events with love stories. There are witches, bears, kidnappers and Romans to be found in them.

She has written two contemporary series, the spicy Dancer’s Journey and the coming-of-age Castle Dancers.

Tomnaverie Stone Circle and Nuclear Bunker

Tomnaverie Stone Circle

Tomnaverie Recumbent Stone Circle is rather an unusual site. Thought to date from 2500 BC, this circle suffered great damage due to 20th century quarrying, but was put back together during an archaeological excavation in 1999.

The mound that the stones stand on was formed by a build up of residues, including human bones, from the site’s previous use as a place of cremation.

Vanda Denton Hi Ailish, thanks for being my friend on Goodreads.

Noting you like dystopian fiction.

I'd hit a joyful orbit if you'd take a look at my author page: Vanda Denton.


Veronica Dale Thanks for being my new friend here. The photos on your website are stunning, especially of the Fairy Glen and the lovely waterfalls. We visited Scotland several years ago, but it was on a tour that just popped us into Edinburgh for the day. I'll never forget the walk we took through town, though, during a light evening drizzle.
