Brian Henderson

Born in Renfrewshire to Glasgow roots and shaped by an early life across Ayrshire, Brian Henderson now writes from Stirling. Inspired by poetry and fueled by historical research, his writing explores the interplay between landscape and humanity, the rules we forge to create man-made structures, and the escape by some into the wilderness zone between the lines. He divides his time between the city's historic surrounds and the heights of the Arrochar Alps. He is the author of the poetry chapbook Somethings That Stuck, and the literary historical novel Salt and Seal (Book 1 of The Hidden Tribes series).

Ged nach eil mi nam neach-labhairt Gàidhlig, tha mo rannsachadh air Alba na seachdamh linn deug gam tharraing air ais chun chànain. Mar a tha mi ag ionnsachadh a freumhan, tha mi a' faicinn a' Bheurla mar chànan a chaidh a chruthachadh le malairt agus riaghailtean nan ceannaichean, ach tha a' Ghàidhlig a' toirt dhomh an speuclair eag-ẹlasach a tha mi a' lorg—aimsear a tha a' tuigsinn an t-fhearainn bhon taobh a-staigh amach. Mar sin, tha mi a' gabhail mo leithscèul ma tha mo chuid feuma mar ràmh briste—'s e pṛiseas ionnsachaidh a th' ann dhomh an-dràsta.
