Books by Murdo Macdonald

What makes Scottish art Scottish? What are the threads that bind it into a single tradition? This book examines the factors and the individual men and women that have shaped the nature and identity of Scottish art.

This book situates Patrick Geddes within his own intellectual background (described by George Davie as 'the democratic intellect') and explores the relevance of that background to Geddes's substantial national and international achievements across a truly impressive range of disciplines.
