This is Scotland – Book Week Scotland Competition

Keeping up with tradition, this Book Week Scotland, we are running a very special competition.

This year our competition is themed around the book This is Scotland by Daniel Gray and Alan McCredie. In This is Scotland McCredie’s lens and Gray’s words search out everyday Scotland – a Scotland of flaking pub signs and sneaky fags outside the bingo, Italian cafés and proper fitba grounds. A nation of beautiful, haggard normality. We’ve included an excerpt at the bottom of this post to give you a flavour for the book!

THE PRIZE:

We’ve got two signed copies of This is Scotland and two £20 vouchers to be used on the Luath website. One copy of the book will go to the winner of the photography competition, and one for the words (details below), along with a voucher each. The £20 voucher is more like £25, as you get 20% off all orders over £20 on our website in the run-up to Christmas!

We’re also giving away five eBooks of This is Scotland through iBooks. For your chance to win – simply retweet the competition tweet here (or any subsequent ones), and we will select one winner at random!
