Margot Robert Adamson translated early Scots and English poetry from the Bannatyne and other manuscripts into modern English in A Treasury of Middle-English Verse (Dent, 1930).
In her own poetry she touches on Edinburgh and East Lothian, notably in A Northern Holiday (1928). She also wrote novels, and travel literature ‘for those who stay at home’.
Her work was included in Maurice Lindsay‘s Modern Scottish Poetry: An Anthology of the Scottish Renaissance 1920-1945, which helped to establish a number of the poets of the day as part of a flourishing poetic culture.
