William Neill (1922 - 2010) was an Ayrshire-born poet who wrote in Scottish and Irish Gaelic, Scots and English. He was a major contributing voice to the Scottish Renaissance. Stanley Dobbin (1929-2021) was born in Birmingham but moved to Devon and later to Manchester where he worked as a printmaker, painter and teacher of art. His woodcuts show the influence of the German Expressionists.
