Sunset Song has a social theme too.It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization and then by World War 1.Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war.Despite this，the war takes the young men away，a number of them to their deaths.In particular，it takes away Chris husband，Ewan Tavendale.The war finally kills Ewan，but not in the way his widow is told.In fact，the Germans arent responsible for his death，but his own side.He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.

　　If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead.It is a Sunset Songbut is concerned too with the new Kinraddie，indeed of the new European world.Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story.
