## Wittins: Sangschaw, Lallans 102-103
-Our own Lord Braxfield, Judge of the Sangschaw, will deliver his summary of
-this year’s happenings in Lallans 102. The word on the street is that the
-cranky old grump was pretty impressed by what was put before him. So keep at
-it, Scots writers - it vexes him no end to see the Scots language being put to
-such good effect! It’s not too early to start working on your masterpiece for
-next year. The winner of the poetry class is printed below, but the editor will
-endeavour to include as many entries as possible in the forthcoming Lallans
-102/103. The summer number in particular will have an extraordinary and broad
-showing of further Scots writing, including an interview with Scots Radio
-broadcaster Frieda Morrison; Fred Freeman’s epic on Burns, Hamish Henderson
-and song; the final instalment of Sam Burns’ Deacon Broadie play and an
-abundance of thought-provoking poetry, stories, reviews and news concerning
-all the other ventures in the ever-expanding world of the Scots language.
