Guardian Books Podcast: New Scottish writing

Is it useful to talk of Scottish literature, when there's such a diverse range of work coming out of the country? What effect does landscape have on what authors write, and who are the great new writers we should be looking out for here? Charlotte Higgins talks to authors Andrew O'Hagan, and John Niven , and Stuart Kelly, Literary Editor of Scotland on Sunday, about the importance of provenance to books. The singer James Yorkston , newly-published author of It's Lovely To Be Here - the Touring Diaries of a Scottish Gent, and crime writer Ian Rankin discuss the impact of place on their work. And the novelist Alan Bissett considers how well Scottish fiction engages with the outside world.
