He began to write poetry at the age of 20, but wrote only very sporadically until 1966. His first book of poems, From the Wilderness was the Poetry Book Society Choice for 1973. His autobiographical book Night Falls on Ardnamurchan weaves his own humorous and perceptive account of the crofting life, with extracts from his father’s journal.
