Note to 21st century American authors of historical romances: If I struggle to read REAL Scots written by an actual Scot who lived much nearer C18, R.L. Stevenson, there's not a whelk's chance in a supernova I'm gonna wade through your faux folly, d'ye ken?

Fantastic to see more coverage of the Rainbow Books, translated into and for the first time, in the Herald. It was a joy to speak to Lennie Pennie about the project and why I felt it was an important book for Scotland and the world.

Thanks to the team at The Herald for making space for our languages and this story to be told. Read more, below:

I’ll ha’e nae hauf-way hoose, but aye be whaur
Extremes meet – it’s the only way I ken
To dodge the curst conceit o’ bein’ richt
That damns the vast majority o’ men.

What I saw in the old shed.
Thought I'd shoot in black and white to capture the timeless clutter by the window, a collection of old saws and cobwebs.
