James Shaw Grant était un écrivain et journaliste distingué dont l'œuvre était profondément enracinée dans les Highlands et les îles. Il entretenait une forte association avec le Highlands and Islands Development Board, un lien qui a influencé son écriture sur la région. L'intérêt littéraire de Grant se concentrait souvent sur la culture unique, l'histoire et les défis auxquels sont confrontées les communautés dans ce paysage pittoresque mais souvent accidenté. Sa prose offrait des perspectives authentiques et perspicaces sur la vie dans le nord de l'Écosse.
