| The Western Seaboard An Illustrated Architectural Guide by Mary Miers
This richly illustrated handbook reveals how the architecture of the Western Seaboard has transformed itself through at least four cultures - a compelling story of survival and revival. | |
| Surviving by Allan Massie
This is a story of corrupting power (a common theme in Massie’s work), the random nature of violence and indeed most other things, and, of course, the emotional effort that we, and particularly alcoholics, have to put into just surviving. In this, his latest of many novels, the well-known Scottish writer with his own experience of living in Rome in the seventies, uses all his considerable literary skills to examine yet another theme: literature itself. | |
| Heads On Pillows by Joan Campbell
Joan Campbell has been a ‘B&B wifie’ for 40 years. Long enough to have seen just about anyone and everything pass through The Sheiling Guest House. As a respected member of various Scottish tourist boards and committees she reveals what it is really like to take strangers into your home for a living. | |
| Luath Storyteller: Celtic Sea Stories by George W MacPherson
At turns tragic, often romantic, MacPherson has drawn on his love of Scotland's maritime traditions to produce a stunning collection of uniquely Celtic fables and stories passed down through generations. | |
| Luath Storyteller: Tales of Loch Ness
We all know the Loch Ness Monster. Not personally, but we've definitely heard of it. Stuart McHardy knows a lot more stories about Loch Ness monsters, fairies and heroes than most folk, and he has more than a nodding acquaintance with Nessie, too. | |
| Shetland Plays by Marsali Taylor
Two short plays in the Shetland dialect written for schoolchildren - Suspeecion and Da Lassies o the Haaf Grunay. | |
| RLS In Love: The Love Poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson by Stuart Campbell
R.L.S. in Love makes a powerful argument for recognising Stevenson as a love poet. This unique anthology reveals a restless man constantly struggling with love and lust, invariably attracted to unobtainable or unsuitable partners, including distant relatives, older married women, servants, and prostitutes. | |
| At The Edge - Walking The Atlantic Coast Of Ireland And Scotland by Joseph Murphy
At The Edge tells the story of a 1500 kilometre walk from the southwest corner of Ireland to the northwest corner of Scotland. By following the Atlantic coast all the way, Joseph links the most vibrant Gaelic communities. | |
| Walking to America by Roger Hutchinson
Walking To America follows and recreates an immense family journey, in search of a new life and a miracle doctor who could cure the blindness of one of their number. The journey was taken largely on foot from England in the 1880s, to Liverpool, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and back again. | |
| Two Sides of the Pass by Maoilios Caimbeul, Mark O Goodwin and Eòghann MacColla
A unique, fully bilingual poetic dialogue between two poets who literally and figuratively inhabit two sides of a mountain pass. | |
| Joseph's Box by Suhayl Saadi
Recently-bereaved Zuleikha MacBeth wades into the Clyde one morning and recovers a large box, with which she becomes obsessed. The discovery of the box brings her together with Alex, a lute-playing clerk, and they manage to open the box – only to find six further boxes inside which they can only open once they have followed cryptic clues. | |
| Fighting It by Regi Claire

A solitary cashier in an all-night garage is haunted by visions of real life and death, but is unable to intervene … until dramatic events force him to venture beyond his limits - and into Tamil London. | |
