Weir's World
Born in Glasgow in 1914, the son of a locomotive engine-fitter, Tom Weir began tramping the hills near the city whenever he could. In 1939 he left his steady job at the Co-op and embarked on a life of writing and adventure. After wartime military service, he joined the first postwar Himalayan expedition. In this autobiographical book, Tom shares the excitement and the challenge of mountain-climbing and of discovering varied lands and cultures - travelling in the Lofoten Islands, Nepal, Morocco, Kurdistan, Corsica and Yugoslavia - and describes walks and climbs in many parts of his beloved Scotland.
The Weem Witch
In March 1704 Patrick Morton, a 16-year-old blacksmith in the coastal Fife town of Pittenweem, claimed to have found a witch's spell left at his door - a wooden bucket containing a fire coal and some water. At once he felt ill, or so he said - he could barely stand, had no appetite, became emaciated. In May he started to have fits. Morton accused several local women of tormenting him by witchcraft, setting off a witch-hunt reminiscent of the Middle Ages, dragging innocent women and men into a snare of repression and death, The Weem Witch tells the story of the Pittenweem witches, using contemporary documents to bring a horrifying episode in Scotland's past under the spotligh

Crème de la Crème
Edinburgh was the place where Miss Jean Brodie taught her girls to believe they were the 'creme de la creme', where there was a real St. Trinnean's, and where an unusually large proportion of the city's girls went to independent schools. Alasdair Roberts has produced a social history of this special feature of Edinburgh life."
