Welcome to the Grassic Gibbon Centre Website.

The Official Website for the Scottish Author Lewis Grassic Gibbon.

Lewis Grassic Gibbon was born in Aberdeenshire but moved to the Howe of the Mearns where he spent his formative years within the sights and sounds of this unique part of the countryside.

His upbringing was to be a profound influence on his writings in later life and were epitomised in "Sunset Song", the first part of his trilogy about life in the Mearns in the early part of the twentieth century.

The  Centre is dedicated to the life and times of Lewis Grassic Gibbon who grew up in Arbuthnott, Kincardineshire and was later to become one of Scotland's best known authors.
