Sophie has found herself in controversy about the ending of her latest novel. To escape the publicity, she goes to Scotland and the small town of Dunbar from where her father emigrated. There she plans to start on her next book. Once there, she visits the castle, to seek out a carving her father claimed to have made there when his family worked on the castle grounds. Once there, she realizes that the castle is for sale as the current duke, Myles, cannot afford to keep the castle. As she gets along so well with the villagers of Dunbar and has always dreamed of the castle, she decides to buy it. Myles, who really doesn't want to sell, especially not to an American who he thinks is troublesome, writes a sales contract in which he is entitled to the down payment if Sophie changes her mind about living there. He then invites her to stay there for a while before the castle goes into her possession, hoping to scare her away so he can keep the down payment. However, things don't go as planned…
A good and rather funny romantic film set in the best Scottish environment.
