Drawing From The Past: The Scots Whay Hae! Podcast Talks To Peter Ross...
For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast we welcome back writer Peter Ross to talk to Ali about his latest book Upon A White Horse: Journeys in Ancient Britain and Ireland - published by Headline - and which is the last in the 'fox trilogy' (and to find out what that refers to, you'll have to listen in).
Peter gives an overview of the book, and how it fits alongside previous publications A Tomb With A View and Steeple Chasing, before discussing the structure, the quotes in the epigraph, the importance of people as much as place (carefully considering who to include and why), his thoughts on recounting personal stories in this latest volume, and so much more.
The two also mull over why it is that ancient times and places continue to cast a spell over modern life, and if that interest fluctuates depending on the state of the nation, and the world at large, before Peter expands on his working process, how he overcomes any initial suspicion, and then connects with those he meets.
We have recorded a number of podcasts with Peter over the years, but, as with Upon A White Horse, we feel this the best yet, and it was fascinating, and thought-provoking, to hear this writer reflect not only on his latest book, but his writing more widely. If you know the work of Peter Ross then you'll want to listen to this one. If you don't, what a perfect place to get aquatinted.

i enjoyed the discussion about how peter ross structures his books and chooses which personal stories to include. the point about ancient places casting a spell that fluctuates with the state of the nation is particularly resonant. it sounds like a thoughtful conversation that goes beyond a simple book overview, touching on the writer's process and the deeper connections to history.
