News at Eleven: Edwin Morgan's involvement in the "shady

and sometimes dangerous" Glasgow gay scene of the 1950s is revealed in the first major biography of the late Makar.

Beyond the Last Dragon: A Life of Edwin Morgan, by James McGonigal, details the late poet's sometimes violent and hazardous experiences in Glasgow's gay scene as a young academic, when his sexuality was a secret and the gay scene was largely underground.
