This claims to draw on the author's North East roots, being set in a fictional coastal town of Dounby six miles from Duncairn (the city which, Lewis Grassic Gibbon observed, was 'the city which the good folk of the Mearns have yet to build'). Andrew Murray Scott is the author of ten non-fiction books and a considerable body of features and other published work.
