This is incredibly sad! First the old cottage theatre and now St Mungos. Landmarks that those of us who grew up in this mess of a town could identify with, and were part of our lives in work, rest, faith and pints of beer!!!!

While hunting for a bridge to connect pieces of writing in my MPHil dissertation, I came across this piece in a Chapman magazine on Edwin Muir, by the late Robert Calder.
Good to see that he agrees with me on the bookβs importance.

Before! According to Mellownβs Bibliography of The Writings of Edwin Muir, The Northern Islands was included in βRecent Verseβ New Age XXXI May 1925. Muir did write another poem called Horses in 1925 that was included in the First Poems collection.
