Activity
|
Tannahill, descended from the family of the Paisley weaver poet Robert Tannahill, was heir to both a radical political tradition and a rich literary one. Of his extensive poetic output, the bulk was written in Scots, a language in which he was steeped. He was also friend of some of the leading figures of the Scottish Renaissance, including Hugh MacDiarmid, J.D. Fergusson, Hamish Henderson and Douglas Young.
