THE MACKINNON CURSE series is set in Braemar, a beautiful village in Central Scotland with a wonderfully creepy vibe that I absolutely loved. I visited Braemar back in 2002, and here are some photos of the places that inspired the story.
THE INN
(Riley & Shane’s new house)


THE CASTLE
(Home of The MacKinnon Family)
THE VILLAGE OF BRAEMAR
(From Riley & Ian’s hill)
THE CEMETERY & MAUSOLEUM
I’ve also added a picture of PORTLAND, OREGON (where Riley and Shane were born and raised). It’s also the place I call home.
