Heritage appeal to save Scots author Hugh MacDiarmid's home
An appeal is underway to save the home of one of Scotland's greatest writers.
Hugh MacDiarmid is acknowledged as the central figure in the nation's literary renaissance during the first half of the 20th century.
The rural landscape around his home near Biggar, South Lanarkshire, inspired much of his work.
MacDiarmid, best known as a poet and political commentator, lived there for 27 years until his death, aged 86, in 1978.
Now urgent work is needed to upgrade Brownsbank Cottage so it can be retained for visitors and as a residence for up and coming Scottish writers.
