Kenneth Steven combines Scottish landscape and geological history with his own poetry.
The mineralogist Matthew Heddle, the great 19th-century collector of Scottish gemstones, was particularly fond of agates. The counties of Angus and Fife have fabulous banded agates on the shores and in the fields, but finding them is about more than just luck. Kenneth Steven goes in search of the precious stones and reflects on his finds in poetry.
