About the Book:
This second volume of the Whisky Muse series is a further collection of the best poems and songs, both old and new, on the subject of that great Scottish love, whisky. Additional information relevant to particular songs and poems, and other interesting tit-bits on the process of whisky making, are placed alongside more humorous art by Bob Dewar, the illustrator for the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. This collection would be the perfect thing for any fan of a wee dram.
Reviews:
...necessary reading for anyone interested in whisky and song. It encapsulates Scottish folk culture and the very spirit of Scotland. CHARLES MCLEAN, Editor at Large, WHISKY MAGAZINE
About the Author:
ROBIN LAING a musician and writer, originally from Edinburgh, now based in South Lanarkshire. He is the author of four books on the subject of whisky and has released eight albums of whisky songs, as well as five albums of songs on various other subjects. He performs internationally as a singer-songwriter and is also chair of the tasting panel for the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. This publication
is a departure for him – poems instead of songs and castles instead of whisky.
BOB DEWAR was born in Edinburgh at an early age. 16 years later he was published nationally. He worked in D.C. Thomson’s studio where, among other things, he ghosted Dennis the Menace. After going freelance, he did political and social commentary for The Scotsman newspaper. He has illustrated books for the children’s and English Speaking Departments of Oxford University Press, Fife Educational Social Development, A&C Black and many Scottish publishers – Birlinn, Luath, Black & White and Itchy Coo. His work has also appeared in The Times, The Herald, Scottish Field and The Scotch Malt Whisky Society.
