The Clash of the Tartans series is Anna Markland’s most lighthearted Scottish Highland romance collection. Spanning six books published between 2017 and 2020, the series is instantly recognizable for its playful titles: Kilty Secrets, Kilted at the Altar, Kilty Pleasures, Kilty Party, Kilts in the Wind, and Kilts Ahoy! The wordplay signals that these books don’t take themselves too seriously, even as they deliver the historical settings and passionate romances Markland is known for.

Each book follows a different Highland couple, though the stories share a connected world of rival clans, meddling families, and Scottish pride. The series balances humor with warmth, making it a good pick for readers who enjoy their historical romance with a smile. Fans of Markland’s more serious medieval work, like The Montbryce Legacy, may find the Clash of the Tartans a refreshing change of pace.
