Whispers from the Close Echoes from the Glen

'In this his 70th year, James Boswell, a town and country dweller, publishes the first of his journals - January - which will go on to cover the four seasons of the year. It's a memoir of Scots, Sorts and Sensations set within small world Scotland based upon the diaries, journals and notebooks which he has kept since he was a 14 year old Boroughmuir schoolboy growing up in Oxgangs and into late 20th century Edinburgh of Colinton, Morningside, and Portobello before to moving to the Scottish Highlands in 1996. But unlike most memoirs, the vignettes record the story of day-to-day Scottish life as recorded at the time, rather than through the telescopic lens of memory.'

Edinburgh and Lothians Life Magazine Book Review

Very surprised and happy to see the November/December, 2014 issue of Edinburgh Life and the Lothians magazine list 'The Stair' 'As A Good Read This Christmas', not to mention it being on the same page as Alexander McCall-Smith, giving the great man some much needed publicity! ;-)

Scottish Field November, 2014, Book Review, The Stair

I was standing in Tesco's haeing a free read o' the magazines, when I stumbled across this-couldn't resist buying a copy! :-)

The Stair Isn't Just For Christmas!

If you wish to read The Stair in a readily available and easy to read format then it's available on Amazon. This is a print only version. At a later stage I will publish an illustrated version too including photographs.
