The Setting Behind the Highland Bound Series

I'm a very visual writer. I like to see the scene in my head, like a movie. So when I'm doing research, I like to gather pictures of the places. If I can go myself, I will. Sometimes I find alternatives to the places I'm writing about, and other times I find pictures in research books and online. For the Highland Bound series, because its time travel, I made up my own castle -- Castle Gealach -- but I based it on Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness. Below are some of the inspiring pictures for the series!

This is a window inside Urquhart Castle, and I used this for
the scene in my book where Moira, Emma and Shona are looking at the bailey below. © 2016 Eliza Knight

This is actually a creek in Maryland, where we went on a hike!
But it was so pretty and the woods so inspiring, that I've used
this image for when my characters stop to water their horses. © 2016 Eliza Knight
