Originally published in 1845, in Forfarshire Scotland, Amusements of Solitude is the single published works of Alexander Herald, who was the grocer and Post Master at Guthrie until his death in 1863. The poetry provides a look into the life and events of the mid 1800's Scotland, with a homage to Guthrie Castle, Lord Byron and skirmishes in Greece.
