I cant work this out - why are we talking about Alasdair under the heading
of George Mackay Brown?
Alasdair has written (and illustrated) many books, not many of which have
been widely distributed, but he will be best remembered for his murals, the
main one still in progress on the ceilings and walls of the church building
at Byres Road Glasgow.
