About this listen

 Dive into The House with the Green Shutters, a captivating novel by Scottish author George Douglas Brown, first published in 1901. Set against the backdrop of mid-19th century Ayrshire in the fictional town of Barbie—drawing inspiration from Browns own Ochiltree—the story boldly challenges the norms of the sentimental kailyard school and is often hailed as a precursor to the Scottish Renaissance. Follow the life of John Gourlay, a proud and stoic carrier, as he battles the malicious gossip and petty schemes of the envious townsfolk, known as the bodies.
