Previously unpublished work from one of the most respected members of the Scottish modernist movement, and a highly regarded nature writer. The pieces include a moving 10,000 word short story, Descent from the Cross; a series of field writings written at the same time and in the same style as The Living Mountain; 15 poems, never before seen; a highly entertaining piece on the poetry of Hugh MacDiarmid; and a haunting description of wild geese in Glen Callater.
