Can anyone recommend any novels set in the Scottish highlands?

I'd probably prefer historical over present day but am open to anything really. Had a lovely holiday there last week and want to prolong the feeling Smile

Um to bring down the tone, Nine Red Herrings by Dorothy Sayers and The Singing Sands by Josephine Tey.

A Scots Quair - trilogy by Lewis Grassic Gibbon - studied them at school as they were set where I lived. Consists of Sunset Song, Cloud Howe & Grey Granite.

Remember that only the first couple of Outlander books are set in Scotland, and even then much of Dragonfly takes place in France.

I like Janet Paisley. Her books are set in various historical periods and have female protagonists.
I also like the DS Logan McRae books by Stuart McBride. They are very modern crime fiction.
