Dùthchas: Poems between Mist and Memory

Dùthchas: The Scottish Spirit is an English-language poetry collection that explores the many facets of the Scottish soul - from rugged coastlines, Highland mists and ancient clans to intimate questions of home, heritage and belonging. In free, contemporary verse, these poems weave together landscape, history and personal experience to create a lyrical journey into identity, rootedness and the invisible bond between people and the land they call their own.
This volume is best suited for readers who love contemporary poetry that explores identity, belonging and the inner life against the backdrop of real landscapes. It will particularly appeal to those fascinated by Scotland’s land, history and culture, who are drawn to lyrical, emotionally charged reflections on the bond between people and place. The collection is ideal for readers seeking thoughtful, atmospheric poems in English that invite slow reading, contemplation and a quiet sense of spiritual connection to the Scottish spirit.
