We're always delighted to see a new Alistair Moffat book: The Highlands and Islands of Scotland, a New History, just arrived from Birlinn Books (we're especially taken with the 1600s map of the Highlands and Islands on the endpapers)

Jen Stout grew up in Shetland, determined to become a journalist and and she is now an acclaimed war correspondent in Ukraine. Her new book “Night Train to Odesa” is harrowing, heartbreaking and poignant in equal measure. And it’s published by Birlinn in April! #BirlinnBooks #Shetland #JenStout #Ukraine #BBCRadioShetland https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6417316/shetland-writer-jen-stout-war-ukraine/
Shetland journalist's eye-witness account of reality of war in Ukraine

Jen Stout, author of a new book 'Night Train to Odesa', talks about how women are 'everything' in the country's fight and why the war shouldn't just be Ukraine's concern.

I’m amazed and delighted to share that Hindsight has been longlisted for the Highland Book Prize.
It’s such a thrill to have my work sitting alongside such illustrious writers.

✨That’s Hindsight officially launched ✨
Friends were there from slightly different parts of my life and it was a beautiful thing to have them all in one room to this share this moment with them. And yes, I wore an ill fitting, badly altered , Depop purchase.

I thought I’d try & find an outfit for my book launch this week, but I find engaging with fast fashion 100% depressing. So everyone will have to put up with a poorly altered, slightly weird, second hand outfit instead.
