+## 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.

+## Sangschaw open for submissions!
+
+Our annual writing competition, the _Sangschaw_, is open for submissions!
+As ever, we will provide feedback for every entry regardless of whether or not
+you win an award. It’s unusual for competitions like us to provide feedback on
+entries, but we think it’s important to help writers develop. We have three
+prizes:
+
+- The **Robert McLellan Prize for Scots Prose**: up to 3000 words of original
+ Scots prose.
+- The **John MacPhail Law Prize for Translation**: up to 3000 words of
+ original translation into Scots from another language. Provide along with a
+ copy of the original text.
+- The **Hugh MacDiarmaid Tassie for Poetry**: up to 60 lines of original Scots
+ poetry.
+
+Writers new and old are all welcome, so don’t hold back! We look forward to

+## Upcoming album release: _Leid_
+
+Our very own Wullie Hershaw will soon be releasing a new album of contemporary
+Scots songs titled _Leid_. It will be coming early in the new year, so stay
+tuned in!
+
+To whet your appetite, you can watch
+Frieda Morrison’s excellent video about a recent scheme of Wullie’s, when he released the book,
+_The Sair Road_, along with illustrations from Les McConnel and an exhibition
+in the Lochgelly Centre about the famous miner-playwright, Joe Corrie. You can
+also have a listen to the musical work of his group,
+the Bowhill Players on Bandcamp.
+
+## New audio guide at Linlithgow Palace
+
+This winter, the good folks at Historic Environment Scotland have translated
+their audio guides for visitors into Scots for the first time. The aim is to
+promote the status of the Scots language as well as to give visitors the
+opportunity to hear the voices of the court in something approaching their own
+language.
+
+You can read more
+about the new audio guides on the Historic Environment Scotland website.
+
+As far as we know, this is the first such venture, not only by Historic
+Environment Scotland, but at any major tourist attraction. Can anybody think of
+anything similar? Answers on a postcard please!
+
+## Haven’t received Lallans 103 yet?
+
+It has come to the attention of George, our membership secretary, that there
+has been an error with the posting of _Lallans_ 103. Two members, both
+subscribers entitled to issue 103, failed to receive their copies.
+
+If you haven’t yet received your copy of _Lallans_ 103, which he posted out on
+Wednesday the 7th of November, please email George at
+georgetwatt@hotmail.com
+and make us aware of it. A copy of _Lallans_ 103 will be posted out to you
+straight away!
+
+## New format for Eiks an Ens
+
+Old friends will recall that _Eiks an Ens_ has formerly been a literary
+magazine to accompany _Lallans_. We on the Committee felt that this neither
+gave _Eiks_ the distinct identity which it deserved, nor took full advantage of
+the opportunity it afforded to hold our community together.
+
+Therefore, this is the first issue of _Eiks_ to take a new format, where we’ll
+be endeavouring to share current affairs in the world of Scots language and
+literature, especially where it relates directly to our membership.
+
+So send us in your inside information! If you’ve spotted something you think we
+ought to share in the next _Eiks_, send it to lallans@hotmail.co.uk.
