Alistair Findlay has written the first ever memoir of a career in Scottish social work. He reflects on the changing landscape of the profession since he entered it in 1970 in a memoir that is thoughtful, progressive, humane – and funny. He conveys how he and his fellow workers shared friendship and banter in work that can be hard and thankless but also hugely rewarding and worthwhile.

This is the first collection of Scots poetry devoted entirely to football. It includes many of 20th century Scotland's best known poets, from Hugh MacDiarmid to Norman MacCaig, Iain Crichton Smith to Jackie Kay. Ranging from the historic aspect, in the 1580 poem, The Bewteis of the Fute-ball, or Stewart Conn's The Barber-Surgeons to King James IV, to the gleeful thrilling violence of a good kicking, as in Song of the Sub-Welshian, to the unending frustration of supporting Scotland, this brilliant collection sums up the best and the worst of football spirit.
A collection of poetry from many of Scotland's leading poets addressing the current political and social health of Scotland. Newly updated post-referendum, this refreshed collection featuring new material highlights how Scots are still eager to improve the state of their nation.
In the first book of the Skye Roxy Adventures by Alistair Findlay, Skye Roxy finds herself on a head-on collision with a dangerous cartel in the depths of Ghana, on the search for a lost bracelet said to have the power to raise the dead. She has been trained by the best. She knows how to shoot, how to fight, and to survive. She's brave. Fearless. Courageous and just sixteen years old. Skye Roxy's first adventure may well be her last. The Skye Roxy Adventures is a series of books following a sixteen-year-old heroine as she travels the world looking for lost treasures and artifacts, more often than not finding trouble and adventure wherever she goes. Fans of Lara Croft, and Alex Ryder, will love this strong, brave, and fearless heroine.
