The Poems: A Scottish Pilgrimage

Title: A Scottish Pilgrimage (pamphlet 143) Poem in Scots by Sheena Blackhall.Published by Malfranteaux Concepts. Printed by Thistle Reprographics, 55 Holburn Street Aberdeen. The cover image is a wood engraving c. Wellcome Images, via Wiki Commons. The cartoon characters within were drawn by Sheena Blackhall. Thanks are due to Louise Baxter, chairwoman on the board at Aberdeen Arts Centre for suggesting this undertaking, and to Malfranteaux concepts for agreeing to publish it. Sheena Blackhall is my writing nom de plume. However over the years I have designed covers and illustrated books for myself and others, under the name of Sìne NicTheàrlaich, (Gaelic: Sheena, daughter of Charles). After a year’s study at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, I was a member of the Forecourt Art Group who exhibited at Langstane, and for many years was a member of the Aberdeen Artists’ Society.
