'Two Men at Once' is one of Norman MacCaig best known poems and he was indeed two men at once: it was Edinburgh, the city where he was born and lived as a teacher and a poet, that was his home, but no other place shaped his poetry more so than Assynt in Sutherland. It is here that he would spend many a summer on family holidays, walking the hills and fishing the lochs, MacCaig's fresh eye saw remarkable newness even in the everyday and each poem is a tiny revelation, a new look at an old friend. Celebrate, renew, and discover Norman MacCaig's Assynt.
