Michael Grieve
James Michael Trevlyn Grieve (25 July 1932 – 18 August 1995) was a Scottish journalist and political activist.
Born in Shetland, the son of poet Hugh MacDiarmid, Grieve became a journalist, working across print and television.
He first came to attention when he was imprisoned for refusing to do National Service on the grounds that he was a Scottish nationalist.
Grieve became a journalist, working for the "Daily Express" and writing the "Voice of Scotland" column for the "Glasgow Herald", and later also serving as Arts Editor for Scottish Television .
He edited some of his father's work, including a complete anthology of his work, and also worked on a biography of MacDiarmid.
Grieve followed his father into nationalist politics, joining the Scottish National Party (SNP), for which he was elected as Vice Chairman with responsibility for publicity in 1969, serving alongside Hugh MacDonald.
Grieve's particular focus was campaigns, but the division of labour did not work well, with Douglas Crawford also involved as Director of Communications, and Grieve resigned in 1972.
Grieve also stood unsuccessfully for the party in Glasgow Govan at the 1970 general election, and in Rutherglen in 1979.
For the last ten years of his life, Grieve fought throat cancer, which ultimately led to his death in 1995.
Hugh MacDiarmid
Christopher Murray Grieve (11 August 1892 – 9 September 1978), known by his pen name Hugh MacDiarmid , was a Scottish poet, journalist, essayist and political figure.
Grieve wrote his earliest work, including "Annals of the Five Senses", in English.
However, he is best known for the work he published in "synthetic Scots", a literary version of the Scots language that he himself developed.
From the early 1930s onwards MacDiarmid made greater use of English, sometimes a "synthetic English" that was supplemented by scientific and technical vocabularies.
The son of a postman, MacDiarmid was born in the Scottish border town of Langholm, Dumfriesshire.
He was educated at Langholm Academy before becoming a teacher for a brief time at Broughton Higher Grade School in Edinburgh.
He began his writing career as a journalist in Wales, contributing to the socialist newspaper "The Merthyr Pioneer" run by Labour party founder Keir Hardie before joining the Royal Army Medical Corps on the outbreak of the First World War.
He served in Salonica, Greece and France before developing cerebral malaria and subsequently returning to Scotland in 1918.
MacDiarmid's time in the army was influential in his political and artistic development.
After the war he continued to work as a journalist, living in Montrose where he became editor and reporter of the "Montrose Review" as well as a justice of the peace and a member of the county council.
In 1923 his first book, "Annals of the Five Senses", was published at his own expense, followed by "Sangschaw" in 1925, and "Penny Wheep" and "A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle" in 1926.
"
A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle", is generally regarded as MacDiarmid's most famous and influential work.
Moving to the Shetland island of Whalsay in 1933 with his son Michael and second wife, Valda Trevlyn, MacDiarmid continued to write essays and poetry despite being cut off from mainland cultural developments for much of the 1930s.
He died at his cottage Brownsbank, near Biggar, in 1978 at the age of 86.
MacDiarmid was during his life a supporter of both communism and Scottish nationalism, views that often put him at odds with his contemporaries.
He was a founding member of the National Party of Scotland (forerunner of the modern Scottish National Party) and stood as a candidate for the Scottish National Party in 1945 and 1950, and for the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1964.
A controversial figure whilst alive
, MacDiarmid is now considered one of the principal forces behind the Scottish Renaissance and has had a lasting impact on Scottish culture and politics.
Fellow poet Edwin Morgan said of him: "Eccentric and often maddening genius he may be, but MacDiarmid has produced many works which, in the only test possible, go on haunting the mind and memory and casting Coleridgean seeds of insight and surprise."
