About the book >.>.> It is no surprise that Hugh MacDiarmid the greatest 20th century writer from the Scottish Borders once wrote: “there are plenty of ruined buildings in the world but no ruined stones”. The combination of historical dereliction – whether at the hands of Henry VIII’s troops or modern capitalism – and geological permanence leaves an indelible impression on anyone who has lived in the area. The evidence of that lingering ambivalence between past and present between abandonment and recovery between myth and history is evident throughout this volume. Ruins are ofter spaces where the new can establish a foothold.
