The template describes this trilogy as historical fiction. This is dubious. Although the first work, Sunset Song, contains a prologue which starts in the the 12th century, the main body starts within 30 years of the time it was written, and some of the action in the trilogy is even more recent, virtuall contemporary.

Meaning of “Quair”
Is it worth mentioning in the article that “quair” is an old Scots word for a book, cognate with “quire” in English, as it is used in the sense of pages folded together to make a booklet or pamphlet, and combined to form a book? Jock123 (talk) 18:10, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
