Michael Pedersen: Muckle Flugga

On the remote island of Muckle Flugga, off the coast of Scotland, exists a delicate balance between a lighthouse, the lighthouse keeper and his son.

When a lodger arrives from the mainland, loyalties are tested and life-changing decisions loom. In his highly original debut novel, award-winning poet and Edinburgh Makar (Poet Laureate) Michael Pedersen draws on the myths and legends of the rocky, resistant Scottish landscape to tell a family’s story amid great challenges.

Wind through Michael’s magical tale of heart and tradition, in conversation with Michael Williams.
