The story involves one specific theft and a general type of theft. An heirloom that was supposed to go to Nancy has disappeared and is presumed stolen. Secondly, bunches of sheep are being stolen. Both thefts draw Nancy, George and Bess to Scotland.There's the standard threatening calls and letters and a number of attempts to injure and/or kill Nancy by using a car. There's even a bomb in a mailbox.In other words, the usual events happen to Nancy. What makes this book different is that theThis is a very exciting and suspenseful story. It is full of accurate historical information about Scotland. The story is very fun to read and I enjoyed every minute of it.
In another of the "Nancy travels the world" series, she goes to Scotland, and for the first time I can remember, looks for something that belongs to HER! A brooch that belongs to her great-grandmother (who lives in a castle in Scotland) is missing. Somehow also related to a wool-smuggling ring. (Seriously, is wool something people would smuggle?)A continuity error is that the bad guys try to dissuade Nancy from going to Scotland before even Nancy knows she's going there or that there is any

"Scots, Wha Hae," composed supposedly in remembrance of William Wallace and Robert Bruce it's a song around which the plot of Nancy's mystery revolves in this particular story.I always thought the name was Robert the Bruce, and have always been fascinated because if someone is called Anything the Bruce, that's serious business, now isn't it.But anyway, Nancy and her friends omit the the, but I'm not changing my stance. These gals aren't always correct.Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,Scots, wham
Nancy Drew goes to Scotland! And of course she has a great-grandmother who happens to be a Lady and own what is practically a castle. And in true Nancy Drew style, the criminal starts off in good ol' River Heights and Nancy just happens to be heading to the same location he is. It all begins with a lost family heirloom that Nancy heads to Scotland to help find. Things are complicated though because Bess enters a photography competition with a picture of Nancy with a magnifying glass in full
I am still in my read through of the original Nance Drew series. I saw this one at the library so I grabbed it. Cute, quick read.
I remember the first time I read Nancy Drew. It blew my mind that there were girls presented with a brain. Most of the stuff I'd read up to that time, was that girls were sugar and spice - fluffy. No brains. To also learn about George who is a tomboy was a nice validation. Carolyn Keene wrote just for me! That is how I felt. When I did more research, I was shocked to find out, Ms. Keene was actually a man ... writing under Frank Dixon. I also loved the Hardy Boys. No wonder I loved these series.
