I read After Flodden by Rosemary Goring for the Read Scotland 2015 Challenge but mainly because Margaret at BooksPlease loved it so much, you can read her review here.

It’s a bit of Scottish history which isn’t written about often, mainly because it was such a disastrous and painful time I suppose. Rosemary Goring managed to weave a believable and exciting storyline, I’m looking forward to reading the sequel, which is due out next month – Dacre’s War.

If you’re interested you can see my photos of the actual Flodden battlefield here. I took them a few years ago.
