  Margaret Elphinstone, among top Scottish Women Writers of Historical Fiction
"Elphinstone’s characters often travel over huge distances: her world is one of expanding vision, an attempt to connect to a half-understood natural world, to understand the perplexities of human characters in affection as well as danger and stress.
In The Sea Road, an expansionist Viking world encounters strange societies in Greenland and Vinland; paganism struggles to co-exist with newly arrived Christianity, and a heroine from the sagas tells her 1000-year-old story of a world in flux.
Margaret Elphinstone is Professor of Writing in the Department of English Studies at Strathclyde University, Glasgow.

 Mountstuart Elphinstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mountstuart Elphinstone (October 6, 1779 – November 20, 1859) was a Scottish statesman and historian, associated with the British government of India.
Elphinstone assumed command of the military during an important crisis during the Battle of Kirkee and managed to secure a victory despite coming from a non-military background.
His connection with the Bombay Presidency was appropriately commemorated in the endowment of the Elphinstone College by local communities, and in the erection of a marble statue by the European inhabitants.

 [No title]
A haunting and compelling historical novel, The Sea Road is an ambitious re-telling of the Viking exploration of the North Atlantic from the viewpoint of one extraordinary woman.
Elphinstone's feel for character, period and landscape is as spellbinding as her ability to describe issues of universal interest and in The Sea Road she has produced a historical novel of outstanding quality.
Elphinstone is a worthy successor to writes like Linklater and Mackay Brown, developing their themes in the new century with a voice which is distinctively her own.

 Glasgow Skyscraper, Elphinstone Place, Glasgow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Elphinstone Place is a dramatic thirty nine storey tower and seven storey office block proposed to replace the former Strathclyde Regional Council offices at India Street, near St Vincent Street with its church by Alexander Thomson.
Elphinstone Place would surpass the Red Road flats in Glasgow, Europe's tallest homes at just over 328ft, and would be 30ft higher than Scotland's current tallest structure, the Glasgow Tower.
Elphinstone have been working closely with Glasgow City Council, the owners of the site, to maximise the potential of the highly visible location, adding new residential and commercial assets that will be a spur to further regeneration of this area of Glasgow City centre.
