Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Ian Maclaren, pseudonym of Rev. John Watson, (1850- 1907) was a Scottish author and theologian. In 1874 he entered the ministry of the Free Church of Scotland and became assistant minister of Edinburgh Barclay Church. Subsequently he was minister at Logiealmond in Perthshire and at Glasgow, and in 1880 he became minister of Sefton Park Presbyterian Church, Liverpool, from which he retired in 1905. In 1896 he was Lyman Beecher lecturer at Yale University, and in 1900 he was moderator of the synod of the English Presbyterian Church. While travelling in the United States he died at Mount Pleasant, Iowa. His first sketches of rural Scottish life, Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush (1894), achieved extraordinary popularity and were followed by other successful books, The Days of Auld Lang Syne (1895), Kate Carnegie and Those Ministers (1896), and Afterwards and Other Stories (1898). Under his own name Watson published several volumes of sermons, among them being The Upper Room (1895), The Mind of the Master (1896) and The Potter's Wheel (1897).

4.0 out of 5 stars Scottish fiction, April 23, 2004
"Ian Maclaren" was the pseudonym used for fiction writing (Scottish fiction) by John Watson. This book (best seller 1895-fiction) is a collection of stories, set in the fictional village of Drumtochty. It is thought that the village of Drumtochty was based on Logiealmond, where Maclaren began his ministerial career. The picture that he painted of rural life is closer to nostalgia than reality. It does demonstrate the importance of the Church in every aspect of people's live at that time.
