A poetic portrait of prairie life, tradition, and Western Canada.
This collection gathers poems that explore the bond between prairie landscapes, Scottish heritage, and the Canadian West. It blends memories of old timbers, pioneer journeys, and the enduring voice of Scottish roots carried across the continent.
The book weaves together journeys from the Highlands to the prairies, celebrating both the old-world songs and the new-world trials that shaped Western Canada. Through varied forms—from Doric and patois verses to reflective pieces about home and memory—it offers a lyrical look at community, work, and identity.

- Poems in Doric and regional patois alongside traditional English verse
- Reflections on Canadian identity, heritage, and the bond to Scotland
- A richly textured window into Western Canadian history and culture
Ideal for readers drawn to historical poetry, Canadian Scots, and the cultural tapestry of the prairie West.
