Reader Reviews

Go slowly on this enchanted journey.  Open your eyes to the flickering light and your ears to the rustling leaves.  Tread gently or you will miss the murmurings.

Joanna, Marchioness of Aberdeen

Cowie’s stories show weel-kent Haddo in a new light through a spectrum of voices which flit across the centuries and across the beautiful grounds. These richly visual stories are paired cleverly with Orr’s gorgeous photographs to produce a book to be treasured like Haddo itself.

Shane Strachan, P & J Doric Columnist, Scots Scriever 2022-23, Author of DWAMS

This enchanting collection of stories and photography from Rae Cowie and Susan Orr is both joyful and magical. Rae’s vivid and evocative prose jumps off the page, perfectly complementing Susan’s arresting and thought-provoking images.  Haddo Reimagined is a feast for the eyes and the soul.

Bonus Story

Hush, Hush, the Storm has Swept Through

Dylan was born in a rush, seven weeks early, jaundiced, brought on by shock. Mum held my hand as his nostrils flared with each breath. Doctor Esson says there’s nothing to worry about. Dylan’s fine now.

Floppy, his toy rabbit, slouches on a pile of Connor’s t-shirts which lie folded at the end of the table, waiting for him to shift them. Last night’s casserole bowl has grown crusty. Instead of filling the sink with suds, I grab the stuffie and tuck it in my backpack. The TV weatherwoman predicts haar, but I know the beach like I know each wrinkle in Dylan’s wide forehead. Mum looks in twice a day, wittering on about how that rabbit has caused nothing but suffering, how all the walking is getting out of hand, how the watery air is bad for my baby’s chest.
