Iain Crichton Smith Essays
fi(tut j ttud\ by ll^i Strulh PhQlttgTjpttH lain Crichton Smith is one of the most celebrated and challenging writers in contemporary British literature. A poet, novelist and dramatist in both English and Gaelic, he is also a distinguished critic whose essays have a wide circle of admirers. Now published together for the first time, his essays enable us to see the range of his interests and concerns. As a Gaelic speaker Smith is intensely aware of the recession in his native language and of the threat to that culture's well-being. Nowhere is that concern more coherently expressed than in his previously unpublished autobiographical essay 'Real People in a Real Place* which opens this collection. The poetry of his fellow Scots poet Hugh MacDiarmid is another abiding interest, one which he explores with great felicity and feeling. Other poets whose work interests him arid about whom he has written with grace and intelligence are George Bruce and Robert Garioch. Above all it is poetry and the matter of poetry that commands his interest and it is that intellectual concern which dominates this fascinating collection.

Distinctive Caledonian pine and birch woods extend uphill, giving way to open moorland on the higher adjacent hills. The valley forms a major north-south transport corridor: road and rail routes, and busy settlements, contrast with the tranquillity of the river and hills. Prehistoric settlement remains are common, and some military structures such as Ruthven barracks, are still prominent. The architectural character is predominantly mid to late 18 th century, as a result of improvements in agriculture and the opening of the railway from Perth to Aviemore in 1863. Distilleries form frequent landmarks amongst the settlements and steadings.

They seem large until compared to the Cairngorm Mountains immediately to the south. The uplands are heather-clad and managed for grouse. Now sparsely populated, the remains of shielings are scattered on the hills, demonstrating the importance of transhumance to past communities.
