Gallow Falls cover

In a remote Scottish estate, the search for a missing teenager unfolds in Gallow Falls, revealing dark secrets and haunting memories.

Set against the haunting backdrop of a remote Scottish estate, Gallow Falls delves into the mystery surrounding a missing teenager, Robbie MacBride. When young archaeologist Laura uncovers bones at a Bronze Age broch on Gallows Hill, the small community of Kilbroch is thrown into turmoil. Ex-detective Callum MacGarvey, seeking solace from his troubled past, is drawn back into the world of investigation when Robbie's grandmother implores him to uncover the truth. As the layers of secrecy begin to peel away, it becomes clear that not everyone in Kilbroch is forthcoming about what happened to Robbie.

The narrative follows Callum and Laura as they navigate the complexities of their investigation, each holding their own burdens. Robbie's sister, Ruthie, remains a pivotal character, haunted by childhood memories that complicate the case further. While the police lean towards the theory that Robbie simply ran away, Callum's instincts suggest a deeper, darker truth lies beneath the surface. The tension builds as the characters grapple with their own pasts while trying to piece together the mystery of Robbie's disappearance.

In Gallow Falls, the intertwining stories of loss, memory, and the quest for truth create a gripping tale. As the investigation unfolds, the community's secrets threaten to surface, leading to a chilling conclusion that questions whether some truths are better left buried.
