The first volume of a two part follow-up to 2013's Reclaimed Land. Dreams of Scottish Youth is one person's evocation of a particular time and takes us on a soul-searching headlong journey through the 1970s and out the other side via school, football, prog rock, college, work, friendship, punk rock, fanzine, drums, The Fog and all the bits of life in between. Volume 1 goes from 1970 all the way to the long hot summer of 1976.
Fantastic. Moving and funny and completely recognisable. Absolutely brilliant.'Andy Croft, Smokestack Books
The charm lies in the unpretentious confessional: this is how it was, warts and all. He has the skill of making what is highly stylised seem natural. Fulton is a real outsider, and better for it.'Alan Dent, MQB
