Philip Paris

Philip Paris is best known for his books about Orkney's famous Italian chapel, built by Italian POWs during WW2. However, his work is varied, ranging from Men Cry Alone, a novel about domestic abuse against men that won the Scottish Association of Writers' Barbara Hammond Trophy in 2019, to Casting Off, a humorous novel about residents in a Highland care home. His latest historical fiction, The Last Witch of Scotland, was inspired by the case of Janet Horne, the last person in Britain to be executed for witchcraft (Dornoch, 1727).
