Organisations join to remember David Toulmin

The Scots Language Centre has joined forces with Leopard magazine and the Elphinstone Institute to promote the David Toulmin writing prize. The prize was established two years ago and celebrates the life and work of John Reid, the farm labourer from Buchan who was well known for much of his life as the author, David Toulmin.

The Toulmin prize is given annually for a short story with a North East connection and this year has been won by Eleanor Fordyce for her entry, Sae Mony Summers.

An audio version of the winning story will be featured on the SLC web site later in the summer. The text version can be read on the Leopard magazine web site at http://www.leopardmag.co.uk/feats/246/sae-mony-summers-by-eleanor-fordyce
