{{B}}A Tale of Scottish
Rural Life{{/B}} Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s Sunset Song (1932) was
voted "the best Scottish novel of all time" by Scotland’s reading public in
2005. Once considered shocking for its frank description of aspects of the lives
of Scotland’s poor rural farmers, it has been adapted for stage, film, TV and
radio in recent decades. The novel is set on the fictional
estate of Kinraddie, in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the
years up to and beyond World War I. At its heart is the story of Chris, who is
both part of the community and a little outside it. Grassic
