Two excellent examples of Scottish biography,
focussing on very different subjects.
In Pretty Young Rebel,
award-winning biographer Flora Fraser tells the remarkable story of Flora
Macdonald. It is a tale of adventure and daring, wit and charm, struggle and
survival, and of a woman who showed extraordinary courage in the face of great
danger.
It would be impossible to invent Don Roberto today – James Jauncey’s biography, Don Roberto: the Adventure of Being Cunninghame Graham, is a fantastic combination of Don Quixote and Sir Gawain, Indiana Jones and the Lone Ranger. He was so multi-faceted, so complex, that every chapter in his story reveals some new and contradictory aspect of his personality. He is best known as the co-founder, with Keir Hardie, of the Scottish Labour Party, and later as the founding president of the Scottish National Party. But in a long and extraordinary life he was many other things besides.
