In search of Michael Scot, I re-read James Hogg's Three Perils of Man. You learn nothing about Scot but it's great fun. https://daceblog.blogspot.com/2023/08/michael-scot-in-hoggs-three-perils-of.html?m=1 #michaelscot #jameshogg #historyofscience #ScottishBorders

The imposing James Hogg Monument, overlooking St Mary's Loch in the Scottish Borders. It was unveiled in 1860 to commemorate the author often known as "The Ettrick Shepherd" who lived from 1770 to 1835. The image shows the setting before the trees in the background were blown down in a storm in January 2022.

Vague recollection that my Hons. diss. at Glasgow in '79 was an embarrassing (in retrospect) comparison of short stories of Gogol/Dostoevsky. (Sheesh, hope sumb'dy's burned it)

Wish I'd known about James Hogg's 'Confessions' beforehand. How differently things could have turned out . . .

@BobHenderson I'm delighted to know you liked The Royal Jubilee. It felt wonderful to bring it out of the library into life! I do hope that a proper director, and a full cast, can be delivered in future. Sorry there wasn't a chance for a chat yesterday, but hope there will be in the future. With best wishes #JamesHogg

@Val_Bold Congratulations on last night's 'premiere'. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, had to dash off to catch a train back to Fife so didn't manage to thank you personally. Apologies.
