When we think of Scottish literature we think first of the urban grit which came from Edinburgh and Glasgow or the rural poetry of the Highlands and Islands. No-one thinks of Falkirk. Who ever came out of Falkirk? Edited and introduced by author and playwright, Alan Bissett, this collection features established writers from the area such as Aiden Moffatm the lyrical genius behind the band Arab Strap; Gordon Legge, who was key to the 'Rebel Inc' movement of the 1990s; Janet Paisley, one of the nation's most eloquent Scots language voices; and Brian McCabe, arguably one of Scotland's most accomplished short-story writers.
