Some Like It Scot

Basham (Loyally Luke) delights with this cute contemporary about an accident-prone travel writer. When Katie Campbell arrives in Scotland on assignment, she immediately feels at home in the land of her ancestors—even though her stay at Craighill, an Edwardian-themed vacation house, gets off to a rocky start when she falls off a railing and onto handsome Graeme MacKerrow, whose family owns the property. While the spark between the pair is instant, a woman with wanderlust has broken Graeme’s heart before, and he has no desire to be hurt again. But life continues to throw the two together as Graeme saves Katie from mishap after mishap, and their relationship deepens as they bond over their losses (both are mourning the death of a sister). Just as Katie begins to wonder if God wants her to call Scotland home, Graeme’s ex returns and throws a wrench into the budding romance. The grumpy/sunshine dynamic between the leads proves irresistible, and the Scottish backdrop is brought to life by eccentric side characters and plenty of local color and lingo. The result is a charming, comedic romance ideal for armchair travelers. (Apr.)
