   • O Caledonia (1991) - Elspeth Barker. O Caledonia is a vivid, atmospheric and rich novel offering readers a veritable feast of delights. Opening with a murder scene, 16-year-old Janet lays sprawled at the bottom of the great stone staircase of her Highland family home, Auchnasaugh.
   • And The Land Lay Still (2010) - James Robertson. James Robertson’s epic 600 plus page novel is difficult to explain in a few sentences. It’s the story of Scotland – a meandering and sweeping portrait of the modern history of the country, told through the eyes of Scotland’s born and bred; immigrants and sleazy journalists and their politicians, the downtrodden and the well-provided for, the people that dare to dream of change and those that cling to the past.
   • Shuggie Bain (2020) - Douglas Stuart. This book is the story of Hugh “Shuggie” Bain’s childhood and adolescence, set amongst a smouldering, post-Thatcherite Glasgow landscape.
   • Luckenbooth (2021) - Jenni Fagan. Luckenbooth is truly unique – a strange, gothic and an addictive look into the life of a vastly different set of occupants in No 10 Luckenbooth Close.
