'Gradually I forgot I was a foreigner.' Barbara Henderson has been Scottish by inclination for 30 years. She fell in love with Scotland and its people when she left Germany at the age of 19. Now a children's author, storyteller and teacher in the Highlands, she gives us a lively glimpse of Scotland through the eyes of an EU immigrant - from her first ceilidh to Brexit and the choppy seas of citizenship. Scottish by Inclination also celebrates the varied contributions of 30 remarkable Europeans - beer brewers, entrepreneurs, academics, artists and activists - who have chosen to call Scotland home. 'All voices matter and deserve to belong. Belonging is more than a privilege. Belonging, I am now convinced, can be a choice.'

Barbara Henderson was born in Germany. She has lived in Scotland for thirty years, teaching and writing for children. Her historical and eco-novels are widely used in Scottish schools and her interactive events take her all over the country to schools and book festivals. She lives in Inverness with her family where she divides her time between writing and teaching Drama. Scottish by Inclination is her first non-fiction book for adults.
