Last summer, an unassuming loon from Macduff by the name of Pat Hutchison made his McStorytellers debut with a spooky tale entitled The Seven Coins o Kinnedart. Since then, Pat has had another five stories published on the site. While one was similarly spooky, one was heart-breaking and the others were imbued with that bone-dry humour of the North-East of Scotland, uniquely all six stories were written in what Pat calls the Banffshire Doric – and were all the more enjoyable for that.
After reading the first couple of those stories, fellow-McStoryteller Cally Phillips, who runs the Turriff-based Deveron Press, recognised Pat’s obvious storytelling talent (as we did) and quickly got in touch with him. We’re delighted to announce today that the outcome of Cally’s contact is the publication of a collection of twenty-six of Pat’s short stories, all penned in his beloved native Doric.
Sanners Gow’s Tales and Folklore of the Buchan will be launched in May, but pre-publication signed copies can be ordered now from the unco online bookstore for delivery by 20th April. This book deserves a place on the bookshelf alongside the cream of North-East Scottish writers.
