===Christopher Murray Grieve=== Christopher Murray Grieve (known as [[Hugh Macdiarmid]]) was born in Langholm and educated at [[Langholm Academy]]. The Scottish poet and cultural [[Polemic|polemicist]] was a leading light in the [[Scottish Renaissance]] of the 20th century. Unusual for a communist, he was a committed [[Scottish nationalist]] and wrote both in English and in literary [[Scots language|Scots]]. The town is home to a monument in his honour made of [[Weathering steel|COR-TEN(r) steel]], which takes the form of a large open book depicting images from his writings.
