FORGOTTEN works by one of Scotland's most celebrated poets have been discovered in his birthplace a century after they were written.
The 15 poems by Hugh MacDiarmid were penned under his real name, Christopher Murray Grieve, and have been found among the archives of the library in his home town of Langholm, Dumfriesshire.
The first of them appeared exactly a century ago in the local newspaper when he was just 22.
Like the rest they have not seen the light of day since.
