Norman MacCaig Books

Though born in Edinburgh, MacCaig found his creative spirit deeply entwined with the Scottish Highlands, dividing his time between the city and the rugged landscape of Assynt. This duality likely informed his perspective, offering a unique lens through which to view the world. His commitment to peace was evident in his conscientious objection during World War II, a stance that may have further shaped his thoughtful approach to life and art. MacCaig's dedication to fostering literary talent was recognized through his appointments as a Fellow in Creative Writing and later as a reader of poetry.
