When Tracey and her husband Rob travel to a remote island off Scotland's west coast to view it as a possible new home, it feels like the beginning of a dream. Blackwater Island has everything they have ever wanted: a lighthouse, a cosy cottage, breathtaking cliffs and complete escape from the pressures of everyday life.
But from the moment Tracey first sets foot on the island, she is haunted by an unsettling feeling.
The lighthouse seems familiar. The paths feel known.
And places she has never visited awaken memories she cannot explain. As Tracey settles into island life, she begins to uncover fragments of a forgotten past.
A faded photograph. An old guest book. Hidden letters.
A name that refuses to be forgotten.
At the same time, twenty years earlier, a young woman arrives on Blackwater Island for what is supposed to be a short holiday. What begins as a carefree week in paradise slowly turns into something far more complicated, as hidden secrets and unanswered questions begin to emerge. Separated by two decades, the lives of two women become intertwined in ways neither could ever have imagined.
Set against the dramatic beauty of Scotland's rugged coastline,
A Scottish Island is a gripping psychological mystery about love, identity and the secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Because some places never let you go.
