George Mackay Brown

Winter Tales Book Festival 2021 George Mackay Brown (1921-1996) was one of Scotland’s finest poets and short story writers of the twentieth century. An alumnus of the University of Edinburgh, where he studied between 1956-60, his work is nearly all set in his native Orkney and reflects his deep commitment to and love of the place he called home. On the centenary year of his birth, the School of Divinity’s Dr Linden Bicket is joined by the novelist Malachy Tallack, and the poet Gerry Cambridge, to discuss the spiritual dimensions of Brown’s fictional universe, which he called ‘the small green world’ of Orkney.
