Just learned that Douglas Gifford has died. One of the best communicators in Scottish Literature and great company when I knew him many years ago. His brother, Hugo, was my mentor as a young man and died far too young. RIP, Dougiehttps://t.co/vm5G9qtUdG

Just heard Prof Douglas Gifford has passed away. What a loss – a giant of Scottish letters. He taught me throughout my @UofGlasgow Scot lit degree and he was inspirational. So many writers unlocked through his knowledge and insight.
