Hallmark Movie Preview: A Scottish Love Scheme

We’re convinced that Hallmark is telling us that we need to go to Scotland to find love. We’re down for that, don’t get us wrong. Those accents – you don’t have to ask us twice. Not to mention the scenery. We’ve seen pictures of Scotland and it looks absolutely beautiful. All that green and fresh air – well, we’re googling all the best places to go.

So why is it that we think that Hallmark wants us to go to Scotland? Well their Christmas movie, A Merry Scottish Christmas, was a big reason. But then, we also looked at the new movies for January and we’ve got A Scottish Love Scheme.

We hear you Hallmark. Our credit cards may not like it, but we’re not asking them for permission, we’re just going to do. Scotland here we come (eventually, cause like it does take planning).

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

Lily (Durance) is ready to accompany her mother Cait (Jo Cameron Brown) on their annual trip to where Cait grew up in Scotland. This year, the two are going earlier than usual, which Lily thinks is her mother’s way of taking her mind off recent love woes. The trip starts off with a wonderful reunion between Cait and her childhood best friend Mairi (Juliet Cadzow). Lily also has a reunion with Mairi’s son Logan (Young), whom she has known since she was young. Upon seeing Lily and Logan laughing together, Cait and Mairi hatch a matchmaking scheme to get these two to spend more time together. As Lily and Logan start to hangout, romantic feelings form between them. But when Cait feels faint, Lily learns her mom has cancer – a diagnosis she was hiding until after the trip. Together with Logan, Lily puts together a heartfelt scavenger hunt for her mother and vows they will fight this together.
