TWO women will share the first prize in this year's James McCash Scots Poetry Competition, run jointly by The Herald and the University of Glasgow.
This year's theme – The Pleasures of Hope (the title of a poem by Lord Byron's contemporary Thomas Campbell) – produced a healthy response.
Rowena M Love uses a concentrated Scots vocabulary in her winning entry, Pentit Leddy.
