The McCollection: Short Stories from McStorytellers

In October 2010, we launched McStorytellers, a website dedicated to showcasing the work of Scottish-connected short story writers. A year later, our little site provides free access to close to 200 stories by three dozen McStorytellers. To celebrate our first birthday, we’re delighted to publish The McCollection, our maiden anthology. Since the theme of the anthology is Scottishness, we’ve picked out twenty stories that in our mind are quintessentially Scottish. Each piece selected either is emotive (our McStorytellers aren’t afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves) or it’s powerfully written, with no holds barred, or it’s underpinned by wry Scots humour. It might even demonstrate a combination of all three qualities. But see for yourself. And enjoy a roller-coaster ride through the Scottish writing psyche.
