Mark Thomson

From Robert the Bruce to Alex Ferguson, find out what happens when Scotland’s most famous figures overrun the present day. Picking up from where they left off, will these vividly drawn characters right past wrongs, see how their legacy has shaped Scotland’s future, or just go and have a good time? This new collection of poetry from acclaimed Scots writer Mark Thomson looks at the effect our famous ancestors have had on us, and what they would think of Scotland today.

Mark Thomson

Mark Thomson writes and performs his street poetry at poetry slams and festivals, including The Wickerman Festival, with other like-minded poets, bringing music and poetry together. He began writing after completing a Hilltown Horizons literary course, where he met other Dundonian poets Kevin McCabe and Gary Robertson. Together he and Robertson formed street poetry partnership Tribal Tongues. He now leads creative writing courses himself and runs national literacy organisation workshops. His students have included children from the Barnardo’s organisation.
