Carry a Poem
A poetry promotion campaign has revealed a widespread love of Scots language poetry. The 'Carry a poem' initiative is a project aimed at developing literary culture, partners include The Scottish Poetry Library and the Edinburgh City Libraries. Robert Burns, Hugh MacDiarmid and William Soutar have all been nominated as favourite poets. Some of their poems and the personal stories of why people love these poets have been combined in an anthology. This collection of stories and poems is being given away free across Edinburgh as a part of the campaign. The book can be read online and further details of the campaign are at
