Great Scot! Scotland's tremendous women writers
Jim
Scotland has a vibrant, internationally renown literary reputation. Here are some of the contemporary novelists (and a scattering of poets)- from Scotland, or working in Scotland - keeping that literary tradition alive, and KICKING!
Top of the pile, two sensations that we had the pleasure to celebrate at Lighthouse - Watch our Scabby Queen chat with Kirstin Innes and the launch of Helen McClory's Bitterhall - complete with original fiddle soundtrack by Roseanne Watt - below.
