Excerpt from Poets and Poetry of Linlithgowshire: An Anthology of the County In this volume a long cherished project takes practical shape. While the work might have been undertaken by one whose literary ability would have done it more justice, the Editor will say for himself that it could scarcely have fallen into hands more willing to treat it with the loving care which it merits. No endeavour has been spared to make it as completely representative of the poetry of the county as possible, and it is hoped that it may win the appreciation of all who are interested in the poetic literature of Linlithgowshire.
