Merryn Glover, widely-published author of fiction and non-fiction, drama and poetry joins us to discuss her new book The Hidden Fires (Polygon, 2023) and its relationship to Nan Shepherd’s classic work about the Cairngorms, The Living Mountain.

​Merryn describes The Hidden Fires as ‘an account of my pilgrimage deeper into the Cairngorms and my own sense of being, with Nan Shepherd as invisible friend: walking guide, writing tutor and fellow wonderer.’

​We’re looking forward to learning more about this pilgrimage, and Merryn’s new understanding, both of herself, and of the Cairngorm range and its significance in the Scotland of today.
