Allan Massie

I saw in yesterday’s Guardian that Scottish writer Allan Massie has died.
Regular readers will know I have followed his fiction closely: indeed he is one of my sub-category entries under Scottish Fiction. I think I have read all of his fiction works.
You will find my reviews of most of his books on the blog if you search.
Massie was also a journalist and critic, especially for the Scotsman newspaper.
A sad loss.
Allan Johnstone Massie: 16/10/1938 – 3/2/2026. So it goes.
