Willie Orr

6th September 2021 by willie.orr

Graduate of Stirling University with History degree in 1978, followed by postgraduate M.Litt from Strathclyde with thesis published as ‘Deer Forests, Landlords and Crofters’ in 1982. This also led to featured pieces on the Scotsman – ‘The Park Deer Raid’ 1980; ‘The Great Highland Famine’ 1988; ‘Slave Labours’ in 1990, revealing the extent of Scottish involvement in slavery.

However my main interest lay in fiction with short stories included in the Harper Collins Scottish Short Stories collection in 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993. Two in ‘Northwords’ in 2011 and 2019 and one in ‘Splinters’ in 2011.

Most recent is ‘MICK’ in 2019, a novel about a cruelly fostered child in Scotland in the 1950’s
