I don't know the fandom, but the pictures are pretty (especially the horse!). Looking at them, I get a sense of wild Scottish ruggedness, mixed with beauty and gentleness.

Thank you! :) You don't know "Eight Cousins"? It's lovely! A very ladylike young girl, just orphaned, is sent to live with her great-aunts, and so comes into contact with all her extended family including seven boy cousins - they live in Boston but are of Scottish descent and proud of it, hence the kilt and thistles. It's on Project Gutenberg, here.

I don't think I need to ever go to a bookstore again, you keep filling my "to-read" list with recommendations. :)
