George's memory is inseparable from Orkney, where he was born the
youngest child of a poor family and which he rarely left. His
mother was a beautiful woman who spoke only Gaelic and his father
was a wit, mimic and singer, who also doubled as postman and
tailor. Tuberculosis framed George's early life and kept him in a
kind of limbo. He discovered alcohol which gave him insights into
the workings of the mind. While attending the University of
Edinburgh he came into contact with Goodsir Smith, MacDiarmid and
Norman MacCaig - and Stella Cartwright with whom perhaps all of
them were in love. By the time of his death in 1996 he was
recognised as one of the great writers of his time and country.
