The Magicians of Scotland

“A lively collection of poems that will entertain, move and frequently amuse. ” —Alexander McCall Smith

The author of The Magicians of Edinburgh returns with a new volume that celebrates and interrogates Scotland and its people at a crucial turning point in their history. Themes explored include the country’s past, present, and future, its landscape and its people, its myths and its politics—from Bannockburn, Flodden to Faslane, the Loch Ness Monster, wind farms, Hutton to Higgs, Bonnie Prince Charlie to Donald Trump. Accessible, serious yet entertaining, it reminds us that “Butlin is the best, the most productive Scottish poet of his generation” (Douglas Dunn).
