The Ramsay Scallop is a young adult historical romance written by Frances Temple.

When Thomas returns broken and disillusioned from the Crusades, he finds the idea of marriage and lordship overwhelming.

Elenor dreads the idea of marriage to Thomas, both because she does not like him and because she is afraid of bearing children.

Father Gregory sends both of them on a religious pilgrimage to Santiago, Spain, to put the record of Ramsay's sins on the shrine of Saint James.

On their special pilgrimage, they meet different people, and discover the glorious possibilities of the world around them and within each other.
