Find Locations From LJ Ross Books

We love a good book at the Fabulous North, nearly as much as we love adventuring. So it’s a no brainer that we are also a big fan of the LJ Ross books.

It’s wonderful to see the north brought to life on the page entwined with a crime thriller (and stotties!). But if you fancy visiting any of the places mentioned in the books, or are from outside the region and fancy a virtual tour, then here are some of the amazing places mentioned in the stories.
