Review Quotes:
This enchanting collection of stories and photography from Rae Cowie and Susan Orr is both joyful and magical. Rae's vivid and evocative prose jumps off the page, perfectly complementing Susan's arresting and thought-provoking images. Haddo Reimagined is a feast for the eyes and the soul.

Go slowly on this enchanted journey. Open your eyes to the flickering light and your ears to the rustling leaves. Tread gently or you will miss the murmurings.
Lady Aberdeen
Cowie's stories show weel-kent Haddo in a new light through a spectrum of voices which flit across the centuries and across the beautiful grounds. These richly visual stories are paired cleverly with Orr's gorgeous photographs to produce a book to be treasured like Haddo itself.
