My first review of 2024! In case you’re curious, I tried last week’s movie, Love on the Right Course, but I didn’t make it through the whole movie; it wasn’t for me. However this week’s A Scottish Love Scheme was perfect for me on a cold Sunday morning. Here’s a quick recap and my two cents 😉
Quick Recap
Lily quits her marketing job with her ex-husband and takes a trip to Scotland with her mother to visit some family friends before continuing to Seville, France for a 6 month photography course. While in Scotland, she connects with Logan and his son. Logan is in need of a marketing guru to help him out of a tight spot with his family’s business and the two work together on a project for a new line of whiskey.
My Two Cents
It’s New Year New You! I love starting a new year with leads who are chasing their dreams and going after their passions. After all, isn’t that what we all want in life? Love. And New Year New You movies, are all about finding your love both romantically and career-wise. A Scottish Love Scheme does this very well!
**Fair warning, you might need a box of tissues for this movie. For as wonderful as it is, there’s a bit of sadness to it too. Also, there will be some spoilers in this review.**
The scenery in this movie is beautiful! It makes me want to go to Scotland and tour the countryside. Maybe it’s because I have a freezing cold winter wonderland outside and the movie has a lot of greenery and people not bundled with so many clothes they can barely move. 🤣
The scenery wasn’t the best part of the movie though. I loved the plot with Lily going on a trip with her mom and helping Logan save his business. She’s able to use her skills to help a friend while on her way to chase her dreams.
I could have done without the side plot of her mom dying – it really pulled on my heart. It’s no secret I’m more romcom than sappy movie watcher. But every now and then, finding a good tear jerker is needed. This is one I wouldn’t mind watching again should the mood arise.
If you’re in the mood for a sweet romance that fills your heart in all the right places, definitely give this movie a try. Keep that box of tissues close and be prepared for the last 30 minutes. Lily and her mom’s trip down memory lane had me bawling. Ugh! I’m such a sap! Add in Lily’s happily ever after and I feel complete and ready to take on the world this week 🙂
If you have a chance, try this movie! Let me know what you thought! Leave a comment!

For the number of tears Erica Durance shed thru Saving Hope she was well practiced for this one. It was a joy to watch the two main characters learn from each other the art of nuance and as naughty as the two elderly schemers were they entertain us well with their characterful humour.As for young Fynn, the son of the bereft widower, he has a definite acting career ahead of him. Scenery unique ! Book your seats!
Tactfully and artfully presented
