'''George Mackay Brown (1921-1996)''' was a key figure in 20th-century Scottish literature, achieving equal prominence as poet, novelist, and short-story writer. His work was rooted in the history, mythology, landscape, and speech of his native Orkney.

George Mackay Brown read English literature as a mature student at Edinburgh (1956-60) where he became part of the circle of poets associated with Milne’s Bar, including [[Hugh MacDiarmid]], [[Norman MacCaig]], and [[Sydney Goodsir Smith]]. After graduating, Mackay Brown began teacher-training at Edinburgh’s [[Moray House of Education]] but was forced to give up due to ill health. He subsequently began a post-graduate degree on the poetry of Gerald Manley Hopkins, but again health problems intervened, and in 1964 Brown returned permanently to Orkney to pursue a career as a full time writer.

[[Edinburgh University Library]] holds an extensive collections of manuscripts by George Mackay Brown among its [[Scottish Literary Papers]].
