For #BurnsNight : "heaven-sent" Fergusson, inspiration to Burns, lies in the Canongate Kirk. His headstone erected by Burns; years later RL Stevenson planned to restore it. One memorial, three Scots writers, all Roberts.

Yesterday bought Laidlaw by William McIlvanney from my local bookshop, Backstory in Balham. https://backstory.london/ It cost £9.99. On Amazon it's £8.99. Or you can read it for free on Kindle Unlimited. McIlvanney is from Kilmarnock in Scotland where I grew up. I can well imagine his scorn for Amazon and Kindle. An extra £ well, spent, I feel.
