Essays and Journalism, Volume 3

Mitchison's work reflects her deep engagement with Scottish landscape, history, and politics, particularly as a member of local governance. While her focus may initially appear limited to the West Highlands, her writings reveal a broader concern for Scotland's identity as a small nation under Westminster's rule. Through her journalism, she addresses contemporary issues, questioning the influence of global politics and finance, such as NATO and oil, on Scotland's future. Her pieces encapsulate both local challenges and wider existential inquiries.
