Writing Competition - Winners

writing competition - winning entries

Thank you to everyone who took part in our competition.

We were really impressed by the number and quality of the pieces we received. Our judges - Pauline Prior-Pitt (English entries) and Caitriona NicCuthais (Gaelic entries) - wanted to share their thoughts with you.


'Bha a’ bhàrdachd agus na sgeulachdan uile cho innteanach agus tlachdmhor.  Mar sin thàth mi an fheadhainn a bha mi a’ faireachdainn a b’fhaisge air a chuspair agus an t-aite a thagh iad, agus a thug orm smaoineachadh gun robh mi ann.' Caitriona NicCuthais.

'What a brilliant idea to offer photographs of beautiful parts of Uist for people to write about. Variety and imagination were shown in all the responses; each one taking a different viewpoint. Everyone who entered deserves to be congratulated on the quality of their writing. I enjoyed reading all of the entries but was particularly impressed by the atmospheres created by the winners, their telling images and precise exploration of place.' Pauline Prior-Pitt.

A huge congratulations to all our winners. You can read their work by clicking on each name.
