Product Description
Product Description
Translated Kingdoms is a new collection of poignant poems reflecting a thousand years of Scotland and the sea. From fishermen to ferry men, landladies to lighthouse keepers, many have depended on the sea for a living, and all Scots are near enough to its shores to experience its changing moods. Iain Crichton Smith, Norman MacCaig and Robert Louis Stevenson join many others in this moving testimony to the place of the sea at the heart of the Scottish imagination.

If you do not have the Doric, or the Lallans, or Shetlandic, then buy this book and a Scots Dictionary to help you get the most out of it. Some old classics (Sir Patrick Spens), some newer classics (RLS) and my personal favourite; To Suffie, Last of the Buchan Fishwives. This latter is a 36 line masterpiece, in Doric, which conjures up a world forever fled. Truly this is a beautiful book.
