Great piece. I’m aware of quite a few pieces of crime genre set and written in Scotland just in the last year. Do you think Scottish crime genre is really declining? I’m not sure between the definition of crime and crime noir but certainly the Granite Noir crime festival still seems very popular and still many crime writers based in Scotland writing Scottish crime. Bloody Scotland in Stirling just seems to get more popular every year. I was a finalist in Pitch Perfect a few years back!

Scotland sounds more and more appealing, more beautiful in the broadest sense, with each newsletter. I can't speak to the murder comparison between Glasgow and Chicago, but as for mass shootings, there hasn't been a single one in Chicago this entire month. Whereas, across the country/US, there have been 16.
