Poetry
Two
anthologies of poems by Douglas Fraser have been produced:
-
Landscape of Delight (1967)
-
Rhymes of Auld Reekie (1988)
Several
of these poems were first published in the Edinburgh Photographic
Society Bulletin. These poems, typically featuring
Edinburgh and Scotland can be found on this web site.
Painting
In
his later years, Douglas spent less time on photography and more time on
his paintings.
Mountaineering
When
I first met Douglas, in the 1960s, he spoke of his early mountaineering
adventures, including trips by motor-cycle across the "old
road" to Glencoe.
