In Focus
The Writers'
Museum celebrates the lives and works of three of Scotland's best known writers:
Robert Burns,
Sir Walter Scott and
Robert Louis Stevenson. None of these authors
had direct links with the building, but Burns lived
nearby in Baxter's Close on his arrival in Edinburgh
in 1786, and both Scott and Stevenson were born in the city.
The Writers' Museum occupies Lady Stair's Close, a
magnificent building constructed in 1622. ( More

Bloody Orkney by Ken Lussey (29 June 2021).
Bloody Orkney is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland during World War Two. It’s November 1942. Bob Sutherland, Monique
Dubois and the Military Intelligence 11 team fly in to review security in Orkney, home to one of the most important and most
heavily defended naval anchorages in the world. But an unidentified body has been found. It becomes clear that powerful men
have things they’d rather keep hidden and MI11’s arrival threatens the status quo. Then Bob stumbles over a ghost from his
past and things get far too personal.
