This Is Scotland : Luath Press Limited : 9781910021590 : 1910021598 : 30 Oct 2014 : A Scotsman and an Englishman, a camera and a notebook. The pictures tell a thousand stories, the words tell the time. This is every day Scotland, captured at its most crucial point for 300 years. United by a love of Scotland, warts and all, especially the warts, in fact, Gray and McCredie set out on a journey high and low, mainland and island, rust and heather, to document a country and its people. Here is a nation caught and sketched in time; not shortbread-tin Scotland, but the normal, beautifully disjointed one. It is a Scotland of flaking pub signs and sneaky fags outside the bingo, of Italian cafes and proper fitba' grounds, of craggy farmers and disinterested sheep. Stunning images are coupled with lyrical prose in a highly-original Caledonian love-letter.
