William McIlvanney's fiction is drawn from the lives and
circumstances of the people of the West of Scotland, and is
characterised by detailed observation, an accurate ear for
language, wit and thoughtful reflection on living and working
conditions. Laidlaw is a crime novel: its eponymous detective is
both thoughtful and fallible, and the book can be seen as a
precursor to the 'Tartan Noir' works of writers such as Ian Rankin.
Beth Dickson's SCOTNOTE study guide provides a thoughtful analysis
of the novel "Laidlaw" by William McIlvanney, its characters and
its settings, for senior school pupils and students at all levels.
