    • Trivia
      Although Dun Dunbar Castle was just a fictional castle created for the movie, there was a Dunbar Castle located in Scotland, but it's no longer in use.
    • Goofs
      As an environmental engineer, the Duke would probably know that pine trees cannot be planted in December in the Scottish climate.
    • Quotes

      Maisie: Welcome to the Village Inn.

      Sophie: Thank you. I have a reservation under Sophie Brown.

      Maisie: Sophie Brown, the author?

      Sophie: Not sure I should admit it, but, uh, yes.

      [chuckles]

      Maisie: I've read all your books.

      [chuckles]

      Maisie: I just finished the last one.

      Sophie: Wonderful.

      Maisie: May I ask you a question, then?

      Sophie: Sure.

      Maisie: Why'd you leave it so long to kill off Winston?

      Sophie: What?

      Maisie: I was hoping you'd do it in volume one. I never liked that sod. Too bloody perfect.

      Sophie: [chuckles] It's... You know what? I'm not so sure I did either.

      Maisie: [laughs] Bugger.

      Sophie: [chuckles] I killed him off.

      Maisie: Good for you, Sophie Brown.

      [laughs]

      Sophie: Sod. Got any other names for him?

    BROOKE AND CARY ARE BACK!!!!
    Yes, it's a Hallmark-y type movie but it's SO much more than that. Cary and Brooke are brilliant. The Scottish scenery is spectacular (as always). The story is great and paced just fine. The supporting cast is so unbelievably sweet. There's enough comic relief to put a smile on your face multiple times as well, instead of simply rolling your eyes.

    Everyone involved in this film did what they could during the pandemic, and I think they nailed it. Definitely put me in the Christmas spirit!!
