Featured Writers: Dougie Strang

We start a new series profiling some our vast back-catalogue of writers ‘from the vaults’. This week we feature Dougie Strang who has been writing for Bella for many years. Dougie features in this interview with Scots Whay Hae! about our anthology and is about to publish a new book The Bone Cave, a Journey through Myth and Memory published by Birlinn (available in October this year).

Pre-order HERE.

The Bone Cave is an account of a month-long journey by Dougie across the Scottish Highlands as he delves deep into folk tales and mythology. A thread running through the book is the tale of ‘The Cailleach and the Brown-eyed Hunter’ exploring how figures and ideas resonate and dwell through the landscape.

You can read Dougie’s back-catalogue of Bella writing, some of which emerged into The Bone Cave HERE.
