    Sad day for literature especially in Scotland as a big talent passes on.

    Was sad when I found out. Brilliant writer, Docherty had a big impact on me as a teenager.

    Re-read Laidlaw a couple of weeks ago. Still brilliant. A sad loss.

    yep, read Laidlaw, Strange Loyalties, The Papers of Tony Veitch and you see where Rebus came from……

    I’ve actually never read any of his but a lot of authors I like quote him as an influence; where would be a good place to start?

    Docherty would be a really good start Northwind, it is like an industrial Sunset Song.

    Docherty is probably the best to start with but also consider The Big Man.
