Cradle of the Scots: An Argyll Anthology

Brian D. Osborne

Ronald Armstrong

Argyll – the enduring heartland, birthplace of the Scottish nation and renowned for its stunning natural beauty. This book is a celebration of the rich literary tradition of an area which has produced many of Scotland’s finest writers. From Adomnan in the seventh century to Naomi Mitchison in the twentieth, this anthology also features writers as varied as Neil Munro, Robin Jenkins and, from the Gaelic tradition, Duncan Ban Macintyre and Iain Crichton Smith.
