Broken Pedestal - By the end of the book, McWatt has fallen massively in Mhari's estimation. | |

Completely Unnecessary Translator - As far as Mhairi is concerned, Ailish, her assistant's translation of her interviewee's Scots into Standard English fits this bill. | |

Composite Character | |
| Hame / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character - McWatt is very much a composite of many famous 20th Century Scottish literary figures His Anglophobia and use of Scots language in his poetry is reminiscient of Hugh MacDiarmid. McWatt's eccentric dress is similar to Sorley Maclean (Somhairle MacIlleathain). His toxic relationship with Lilias Hogg seems based on George Mackay Brown and Stella Cartwright.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); }) | |
