Here's a recipe for a potent Christmas cocktail A couple determined to get away for Christmas who only get as far as a sinister Solway cottage. A Christmas reunion in a Border's castle with an old rogue who may not have mended his ways. A Christmas phone call from someone who's been dead for a year. A snowy scene on a Christmas card that comes alive. An encounter with Santa and Rudolph in a Solway bar. A Christmas job at Marley and Ebeneezer's Dumfries department store. Drumghoul – a haunted cottage in far Galloway Stories to sample quietly by a roaring fire while the snow flocks cheerfully outside.
