Set in 1983, Salvage is a gripping and heart-breaking missing person mystery, exploring family dynamics, identity and the tragic history of Scotland’s Gypsy-Travellers. It is based on the real-life historical practice of authorities removing children from Traveller families, often with little justification.

Salvage is Mark Baillie's debut novel and was published in July 2024 by Tippermuir Books.

Mark has written non-fiction for Travellers’ Times and published research on media bias against Travellers in the Journal of Media Ethics. Mark's writing is inspired by his own Traveller heritage. 

This event is part of Book Week Scotland and our own fantastic Autumn Authors series, which runs from September to November.
