Congratulations Hughs Bryden and McMillan!

The 2009 winner of the Callum Macdonald Memorial Award was indeed Postcards from the Hedge by Hugh McMillan, published in Dumfries by Roncadora Press. The winners received the Callum Macdonald Quaich at a ceremony held on Friday 29th May at the National Library of Scotland.

Well done, and very, very well deserved. I love this book.

And it's good to know you did your bit for Scotland's economy in terms of umbrella sales... (though this summer will be different).
