The Poems: The Dule Tree

The Dule Tree was published in 2004 by Finavon Print in association with the Elphinstone Institute, to mark the end of Sheena's residency as Creative Writer in Scots at the University.
A year earlier, Sheena and her Elphinstone colleagues Dr Ian Russell and Stanley Robertson represented Scotland at the Smithsonian Institute’s Festival at the Mall in Washington, showcasing traditional storytelling and singing from the North East. Poems inspired by the Smithsonian experience feature in this collection.
