My wife was reading Outlander while we were in Scotland several years ago. I ended up reading the series years later. I am not as much of a fan of the last 2 books, but the first 3 were quite good.
Do a search on amazon for kilt or highland and several trashy novels will appear. My wife just finished Bad boys in kilts or something like that......I'll double check..
* 1700's * Scotland! * Men in Kilts!* Romance! * Gallant Men with long hair and bare chests! * Men in Kilts!* Oh, I said that once already.
Can anyone else recommend any books that have a good storyline to them?

I highly recommend the Jacobite Trilogy by D.K. Broster. It includes "The Flight of the Heron", "The Gleam in the North" and "The Dark Mile". This series is set before, during and after the '45. In style, I would place them somewhere between the Tranter and Gabaldon books. They are fiction, set in history, but without the science fiction aspects of the DG books. They were written in the 1920's, so the style is quite different from the more modern novels. Yes, there is romance too, but not the bare-chested kind! I'd say if you like the Tranter or Gabaldon books, you'd probably like the Broster series as well.
I am currently reading my wife's series of "Outlander", Its pretty good. I recommend reading Stephen Lawhead's Song of Albion trilogy. the first book is called the Paradise War.
