The Paix Machine
Publisher:Fons Scotiae
Author:W D Forde

This was the first modern novel in Scots, written to provide adult prose for those who knoew the language already, and for future students of the tongue.

Its theme is the influence that external culture has on a language and upon the people who speak it; and the hard work that is needed to clear up the after effects.

The Western Seaboard: An Illustrated Architectural Guide
Publisher: The Rutland Press
Author: Mary Miers

Special Offer: £15 inc. p&p (rrp: £18)

This richly illustrated handbook reveals how the architecture of the Western Seaboard has transformed itself through at least four cultures - a compelling story of survival and revival. It is a story of holy men and holiday-makers, seafarers, warriors and crofters and of the enduring influences of religion and clanship in the face of repeated waves of modernisation. This is the ideal accompaniment for anyone wishing to visit some of the most haunting landscapes in the world and learn something of those who inhabit them.

Traisur Insch
