Haddo Reimagined

Haddo Reimagined is an exciting collaboration between short fiction writer Rae Cowie, and photographer Susan Orr. Focusing their lens on the ancient Scottish estate of Haddo Country Park, they discovered forgotten stories, secret places, as well as the exceptional flora and fauna that make the Aberdeenshire Park so special.

Research of the area lead them to ask -  'Which woman was accused of witchcraft near Haddo's lands?' and 'Why is it important that herons continue to make Haddo Country Park their home?' - just two of the questions answered in stories that delve into the park's vivid history, rich natural world and tales behind some of its well-known landmarks.

A specially designed Haddo Reimagined map encourages readers to discover the inspiration behind the stories by following the icons around the park.

Joanna, Marchioness of Aberdeen invites readers to 'Go slowly on this enchanted journey.'  

Shane Strachan, Doric columnist with the Press & Journal, says 'Cowie's stories show weel-kent Haddo in a new light through a spectrum of voices which flit across the centuries and across the beautiful grounds. These richly visual stories are paired cleverly with Orr's gorgeous photographs to produce a book to be treasured like Haddo itself.'
