Aww, that sounds like a lovely trip, despite the disruption caused by the weather! I loved the Caledonian Sleeper when I travelled on it last year.
the name of a notorious spy who betrayed the Jacobites (FotH enthusiasts will not need the actual answers!)
My first thought was Pickle, but I suppose it was Bradstreet, if the museum was mostly focussed on the '45 itself. And wow, those details of soldiers' and officers' kit sound fascinating—I must find an opportunity to put the wig-curling irons in a FotH fic!
Two whole shelves of D. K. Broster! :D I hope you enjoy your finds (er, I would not expect too much from Almond, Wild Almond, if you've not already read it; but A Fire of Driftwood is great).
Hee, I remember the Nessie souvenir shops in Fort Augustus XD It is a very different place indeed now from what it was in Keith Windham's time.
