A SCOTS QUAIR
Lewis Grassic Gibbon is the celebrated pen-name of James Leslie Mitchell, one of the outstanding figures in Scottish Literature, world famous as the author of the trilogy of novels known as A Scots Quair.
SUNSET SONG,CLOUD HOWE & GREY GRANITE.
Born on 13 February 1901, Leslie Mitchell's background and upbringing were steeped in the traditional crofting life of the north-east of Scotland; as an adult, Mitchell looked back proudly on his peasant roots. While his childhood was spent at his birthplace, the Aberdeenshire croft of Hillhead of Seggat, the following period of nine years when he lived at Bloomfield at Arbuthnott in the Howe o' the Mearns was profoundly influential.
The Grassic Gibbon Centre
Was opened in 1992 as a visitor centre adjacent to Arbuthnott Parish Hall. It comprises an exhibition of the author's writings and possessions together with an attractive cafe serving light meals and refreshments throughout the day,open in the summer from 10.00am-5.00pm
