James Robertson has translated Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox and A. A. Milne’s classic Winnie The Pooh into Scots. This Thursday, 5th November, S2 pupils at Menzieshill High School will have the chance to learn from James about the challenges that writing in the Scots language raises. Pupils across Scotland will also have this opportunity, thanks to the Glow video-conferencing tool, Glow Meet. The Glow Meet is being held in the National Glow Group, Writers’ Workshop.
This Glow Group sits at national level but is a project hosted by Dundee City. Other authors in future events will include Gill Arbuthnott, Catherine MacPhail and Dundee’s own Nick Hesketh. For more information, see the Writers’ Workshop Glow Group.
