Scottish Highlands inspire Elizabeth Gates’ debut historical novel set in the midst of the French Revolution
After taking a trip to Argyll, Scotland, Elizabeth Gates was inspired to write her debut historical novel, The Wolf of Dalriada.“It was such a beautiful place,” explains Elizabeth, “the ancient land made me really feel the characters and they fit so well into the beautiful landscape.” Set in 1793, Elizabeth’s novel focuses on uneasy Scottish landowners who struggle to secure their wealth and power as the French Revolution unfolds in Europe.
