Shuggie Bain is an award-winning novel, which in 2020 became only the second Scottish winner of the Booker prize. In the words of the judges 'We were bowled over by this first novel, which creates an amazingly intimate, compassionate, gripping portrait of addiction, courage and love.'

And the Land Lay Still by the novelist and poet James Robertson won the 2010 Scottish Book of the Year award and has since been recognised as a classic exploration of 20th century Scottish politics and society.
