Perthshire Event Immortalised in Work of Fiction
The Enchanted Forest,
Perthshire’s multi-award winning sound and light show, has been immortalised in
literary history, thanks to the latest fictional novel by US based writer A.
Louise Robertson whose romantic fiction, Chained
to Mineola, features the event as the ultimate meeting place for the
novel’s hero and heroine.
The novel follows the
fictional story of heroine Carly Eubanks, an environmental campaigner and lover
of trees, whose quest to save the environment brings her all the way from
Mineola in Texas, by way of California and then all the way to Pitlochry in
Scotland, where she encounters The Enchanted Forest – and a handsome Scots
electrician, named Duncan!
The novel’s author, A.
Louise Robertson, visited the event from her home town of New York, in 2014 and
was so taken with how the forest looked and the feelings it evoked, that she
chose to make it a key backdrop for Carly and Duncan’s love story.
Tricia Fox, marketing
manager for The Enchanted Forest commented:
“It’s amazing to know that
the event is now incorporated in a work for fiction, and we’re delighted that
Louise chose to include us in her story. Every year we hear stories of couples
getting engaged at the event and, of course, a few years ago we even had a
wedding take place in the forest so it is a very magical place for romance. Now
that romance has been captured by Louise in her book and will be read by
romance fiction fans across the world – simply amazing!”
The book is currently
available free on Amazon Kindle as well as in paperback format.
The Enchanted Forest takes place from Thursday 1st October –
Sunday 1st November at Faskally Wood near Pitlochry. Tickets are
