Not so much a web page - more a Tranter archive

 

Nigel was well qualified to be known as Scotland's Storyteller.

From 1935 to 2000 he wrote about 140 books. Although most widely known for his famous Scottish historical Novels he also wrote factual books about Scotland and the Scots, novels set in Scotland, and other countries, westerns, under a pseudonym, and a series of books for children.

It was a privelege and a pleasure for Helen and I to know him and, when he died on the 9th of January 2000 aged 90 years, I wanted to create a memorial to encapsulate the world-wide love and respect that people have for both the man and his work.

Hopefully these pages go some way to meeting these requirements and will also help to inform readers about his books or, hopefully, to introduce them to new readers.

Over the years 'Tranter On-line' has grown to become an archive that provides the most complete detail and timeline of Nigel's literary work on the internet and also gives access to the 'Tranter Chat Group' which, daily,links Tranter enthusiasts worldwide.

Enjoy browsing,
