Creative Scotland critics winners at awards event

Two of the most outspoken critics of the arts funding body Creative Scotland, writer Janice Galloway and playwright David Greig, were last night winners at the crisis-hit arts quango's awards ceremony.

In August, Galloway said she believed "something is wrong at the heart" of Creative Scotland after being asked to re-write an acceptance text after winning the Book of the Year prize for her memoirs All Made Up, while Greig, who last night picked up an award for theatre work, has been a frequent critic of the funding body.
