      ab: In this article the author discusses aspects of utopian Scottish literature. The author notes that a number of modern Scottish writers, including Robin Jenkins, Neil M. Gunn, and Alasdair Gray, make use of utopian imagery and themes. A focus of the article is on the employment of God and myths in a number of works including Gray's "Lanark," "The Green Isle of the Great Deep," by Gunn, and "The Missionaries," by Jenkins. Also explored is the relationship between individuals, nations and communities and how they function in the perceived absence of God.
