Writing poetry came naturally to Bill Robertson as he had a grand-uncle, David Gray (1838-1861), born in the village of Merkland, near Kirkintilloch, Scotland, who became a well-recognized Scottish poet. Over the years, Bill has been inspired to write an occasional poem about events and people around him, which, after many years have been collected in this book. Bill Robertson, the poet, is married and lives on Vancouver Island. While he has authored other non-fiction books, this is his first book of poetry.
