Smackdown in Scotland: An Unholy Travel Adventure
Ann Jagger
- Two
- American
- travel
- writers.
- One
- dream
- assignment.
- Zero
- chance
- of
- getting
- along.Forget
- kilted
- warriors
- and
- mythical
- beasts,
- the
- real
- battle
- for
- Scotland's
- soul
- comes
- down
- to…
- American
- travel
- writers?
Meet
- Lois,
- The
- Good
- Place's
- Eleanor
- Shellstrop
- with
- a
- MacBook
- and
- an
- aptitude
- for
- technology,
- and
- Boomer
- Diana,
- a
- seasoned
- rival
- whose
- battered
- passport
- is
- thicker
- than
- haggis.They
- descend
- upon
- Scotland,
- not
- for
- a
- friendly
- exchange
- of
- travel
- tips,
- oh
- no.
- They
- are
- here
- for
- a
- cutthroat
- editorial
- duel
- with
- a
- hilarious
- twist:
- the
- coveted
- job
- they're
- fighting
- for
- no
- longer
- exists.Imagine:
- bagpipes
- wailing
- in
- the
- distance,
- hairy
- cows
- judging
- silently,
- and
- these
- two
- adversaries,
- armed
- with
- generational
- strengths—think
- Wi-Fi
- vs.
- who
- knows
- the
- pub
- owner
- by
- name—locked
- in
- a
- destructive
- but
- hilarious
- Highland
- Games
- of
- travel
- journalism.
- With
- a
- camera
- crew
- in
- tow,
- they'll
- turn
- Scotland
- into
- a
- battleground
- of
- rivalry
- and,
- dare
- we
- say,
- a
- grudging
- camaraderie.From
- the
- whiskey-soaked
- streets
- of
- Edinburgh
- to
- the
- windswept
- shores
- of
- any
- Scottish
- island,
- they'll
- leave
- no
- scone
- unturned
- and
- possibly
- change
- the
- face
- of
- golf
- forever.But
- as
- the
- deadlines
- loom,
- tensions
- rise
- like
- Nessie
- from
- Loch
- Ness.
- Who
- will
- emerge
- victorious
- in
- this
- clash
- of
- generations?
- Will
- it
- be
- the
- tech-savvy
- wonder
- or
- the
- well-connected
- battle-axe?Buckle
- up
- for
- a
- side-splitting
- clash
- of
- generations
- where
- the
- only
- victor
- might
- be
- the
- untouched
- rolling
- hills
- and
- misty
- glens
- of
- Bonnie
- Scotland
- itself.So,
- put
- down
- your
- claymore
- and
- grab
- a
- copy!
- This
- is
- one
- battle
- you
- won't
- want
- to
- miss.
