“Birches smell of old brandy.”

Nan’s writing can be found, as they say, in all good bookshops. ‘The Living Mountain’, ‘The Quarry Wood’,  ‘The Weatherhouse’, and ‘A Pass in the Grampians’ are published by Canongate in various formats.

Nan’s poetry collection, ‘In the Cairngorms’, the excellent biography by Charlotte Peacock, ‘Into the Mountain’, and a fascinating miscellany of Nan’s lesser-known work, ‘Wild Geese’, are published by Galileo.

​‘The Living Mountain’ is currently available in 17 languages including Chinese, German, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Slovenian and Taiwanese.
