My Thoughts on the Book
Hidden Haunts: Scotland was such a joy to read with the combination of historical context, storytelling, and first-hand accounts, which made it really interesting and with the historical context, I even learned a thing or two about Scottish history. History and the paranormal often go hand in hand after all.
As I've already watched/listened to the Eerie Edinburgh videos on YouTube, I remembered quite a few of the stories, but that's my "fault" in a sense. Funnily enough, I almost read some of the stories with W. J. Gilbert's voice and Scottish dialect in my head.
Overall it was a really enjoyable read with a focus on the lesser known haunts in Scotland, and also, feel free to check out that YouTube channel if you're interested.
