Nan Shepherd to appear on Scottish bank noteGreat news! Scientist Mary Somerville too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-36111759 Robert Macfarlane, writer and Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, welcomed the choice of Ms Shepherd for the £5 note. He said: "It is thrilling to see Nan Shepherd celebrated and commemorated in this way. "Nan was a blazingly brilliant writer, a true original whose novels, poems and non-fiction broke new ground in Scottish literature, and her influence lives on powerfully today." |
