Anne of Green Gables is a classic Canadian novel, with a strong Scottish accent. Cathy MacDonald reveals that Prince Edward Island, where Lucy Maud Montgomery was born and wrote her internationally acclaimed novel, was a distinctly Scottish community.

Born on St Andrews Day (30th November) 1874, Montgomery had an unhappy childhood during which she felt unloved. But she used the experience to create one of fiction’s best loved characters - Anne Shirley. The heartwarming tale is an enduring classic that has been translated in almost 40 languages, including Gaelic.
