The place of Hugh MacDiarmid as the giant of 20th-century Scottish poetry who led a Scottish Renaissance movement is secure. Among a prolific output, his long 2,685-line poem A Drunk Man looks at the Thistle, published in 1926, is acknowledged as his finest and most sustained piece of work.A principal aim of the poem is to grapple with 'this root-hewn Scottis soul' and to analyse the nation of.

The drunk man lies on a moonlit hillside looking at a thistle, jaggy and beautiful, which epitomises Scotland's divided self. The man reflects on the fate of the nation, the human condition in general and his own personal fears. Hugh MacDiarmid was born Christopher Murray Grieve in 1892 in Langholm, in the Scottish Borders.. While it is still the self-same day, A'e day o' a' the million days. Through which the soul o' man can gaze. Upon the wheel's incessant blaze, Upon the wheel's incessant blaze. As it were on a single place. That twinklin' filled the howe o' space. A'e point is a' that it can be, I wis nae man 'll ever see.
