About the author

William Montgomerie (1904 - 1994) was a Scottish author and poet. His childhood was spent in the eastern area of Glasgow. He went to the local Newlands Primary school, then, when the family moved house, to Whitehill secondary school where he passed in a wide variety of subjects, including German and Chemistry. On leaving school he wrote a natural history column for a Glasgow newspaper, earning enough to travel to Berlin, visit Heidelberg and walk through the Harz mountains, alone.

Montgomerie took a General MA at the University of Glasgow, then moved to Dundee, where he taught in schools, including the Morgan Academy, and later at the Dundee College of Commerce.
