PRESS RELEASE – 22/2/2010
Biggar Museums Trust has published an anthology of writing inspired by Brownsbank Cottage at Candymill, near Biggar, the last home of Hugh MacDiarmid – ‘the father of modern Scottish poetry’.

With 'From a Garden of Songs' Tom Clelland has realised a long-held ambition to produce a CD of poems from Robert Louis Stevenson's ' A Child's Garden of Verses' set to music. Thirteen Scottish songwriters, as well as some fine instrumentalists, took part.

South Lanarkshire's Writer in Residence, Carl MacDougall, is looking for writers.
 
His first Brownsbank Broadsheet will be published this summer with stories and poems from local writers' groups. "But there must be writers in South Lanarkshire who don't go to writers' groups," said Carl, "and these are the people I want to reach."
