Engaging and entertaining…Deft, Daft and definitely delicious…Holms is a magician – the reader is so busy laughing the clues just slip by unnoticed.” Val McDermid

This year’s Green Pencil Awards took place at Edinburgh Central Library recently.   The Green Pencil Award is a creative writing competition with an environmental theme, open to all Primary 4 to Primary 7 children in Edinburgh.
Over 1100 entries were received this year giving the judges a difficult task to select the winners.   Edinburgh’s  Makar, Ron Butlin, presented the overall prize to James Macnab of Cargilfield Primary School for his poem ‘The Last Christmas Tree’.
