“Scottishness is as much myth as it is history, which means that we must guard it carefully, retell it beautifully &, more than anything else, love it wisely.”
John Burnside (1955–2024) was born #OTD, 19 March. He published prolifically across many forms – chiefly as a poet, but also as a novelist, memoirist, writer of short stories & academic works – over a career spanning nearly forty years.
