EAST SCOTLAND

Today's five authors were heralded into the Stewart's Melville College Hall by two pipers and they then played a reel before the heat got under way. This was a grand start and the scores reflected it too. Many teams scored nines or tens.Sara Grady the Children and Education Programme Director for the Edinburgh Book Festival awarded the top three prizes. First was George Watson's College, second was Mary Erskine School and The George Watson 2 team was third. A grand result for George Watson. Each team received book prizes care of Macmillan Books.The authors were: Theresa Breslin, James Jauncey, Gill Arbuthnott, Jonathan Meres and Mike Nicholson.Thanks everyone for a very enjoyable afternoon.

Thanks to all of the teams who particpated on Friday - including of course our Author team. Well done to George Watson's on winning - Mary Erksine were so close only being one point behind. Hope to see all of you back next year and maybe even some more new teams. Thanks as always to Wayne as well for your enthusiasm and vast knowledge!
