Win a signed copy of Amanda Thomson's Belonging and a Scottish food and whisky hamper

A personal memoir about what it is to have and make a home

Belonging – by Scottish writer and visual artist Amanda Thomson – is a love letter to nature, especially the northern landscapes of Scotland and the Scots pinewoods of Abernethy – home to standing dead trees known as snags, which support the overall health of the forest.

To celebrate the publication of Belonging: Natural histories of place, identity and home, we're giving one person the chance to win a signed copy of the book and a Scottish whisky hamper, including Dundee Cake, Glen Grant whisky, a whisky tasting glass, and lemon shortbread. 

10 runners-up will each receive a signed copy of the book.
