BETWEEN MOUNTAIN AND SEA: POEMS FROM ASSYNT

This the first and only collection based on MacCaig's poetry written in or about his beloved Assynt in Sutherland, chosen by the poet’s son Ewen McCaig. Edinburgh, the city where he was born and lived as a teacher and poet, was his home, but no other place shaped his poetry more than Assynt in Sutherland. It is here that he would spend many a summer on family holidays, walking the hills and fishing the lochs. MacCaig’s fresh eye saw remarkable newness even in the everyday and each poem is a tiny revelation, a new look at an old friend.
