This book won't map out your journey, nor is it an itinerary of the writing Scotland has produced so far. Rather, like the boldest of trailblazers, it seeks out what we have not seen before; places and people we have not yet inhabited.
Together we are travellers who have a map but no reservations, ready to discover infinite landscapes as we go. Are you ready for the trip?

The room feels close. Myrtle can smell her brothers, a sweet near-nothing smell like spit. Air whistles though Tom's nose as he breathes. It seems too soft, as if he were sipping rather than drinking deep. Baby she can't hear. She gets up to check he is OK, opening the blinds slightly. His eyeballs twitch, animals stirring under blankets. His lashes flutter on his cheek.
Halcyon Days - Laura Stewart
The Gods gave Ava Kingfisher lips like cherry sweets: plump, sticky and unreal red. They formed a perfect bow drawn taut over strong white teeth, which women feared would fire off suggestive arrows aimed at their husbands' hearts.
The Gods carved Miss Kingfisher's exquisitely shaped shoulders from the finest Carrara marble and made them strong enough to carry the burden of a single mother's load.
They bestowed on her two almond-shaped emeralds for eyes. And they gave her a storyteller's voice: rich and low, as beguiling as smoke caught behind a glass.
Happy Hour - Thomas Duncan
Ten past three in the afternoon. Through habit I commit the time to memory, then twist the key in the lock to let myself in.
Sometimes she's right there on the threshold as I push the door ajar, bursting through the tiny crack of freedom as if pursued by the Devil himself. But not this time. This time it's the stench of alcohol that charges past me into the warm August sunshine; a desperate, but doomed, bid to become one with the sweet scent of freshly mown grass. What is it about this house, I ask myself, that makes it so abhorrent to all things?
Flying - Kirsten Gow
She jumped you know. All the way down. From the roof of the school gymnasium to the soft ground below. Not soft enough as it turned out.
They say she wanted to know if she could fly; to feel the upward rush of air past her skin and through her hair. And so she paced the flat asphalt roof --up and down, right to left, east to west - intently examining the rough grey surface as it passed beneath her moving feet. And we all watched, stomachs firmly knotted and rising in our throats. Frozen solid on that summer's afternoon.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AwesomeBooks, Wallingford, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
