500 Miles from You (Scottish Bookshop #3)(95)

Huge thanks to Jo Unwin, Maddie West, Lucy Malagoni, Milly Reilly, Donna Greaves, Joanna Kramer, Charlie King (NICE BABY YOU GOT THERE), David Shelley, Stephanie Melrose, Emma Williams, and all at Little, Brown; Deborah Schneider, Rachel Kahan, Jennifer Hart, Dan Mallory, Alexander Cochran, Jake Smith-Bosanquet, and Kate Burton.

And finally, as they deserve top billing: I am so thrilled we were allowed to use not only lyrics from “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” but also lines from “Sunshine on Leith” in this book. Thanks to one of the best bands in the known universe, the Proclaimers, and the best management in the business, Braw Management. Massive thanks also due to Sandra McKay and the estimable Kenny MacDonald, as well as to Sarah Sharp at Warner Chappell Music and, of course, the amazing brothers themselves. (I apologize for the shocking illustration.) If the Proclaimers is not a band you’re familiar with, you’re in for such a treat.
