David wins Lagg poetry contest
Winner David Cover.
The offi cial poem for the Lagg Distillery on the Isle of Arran, which will be displayed at the new site, has been announced.
Following more than 80 entries from budding writers across the world, who were tasked with capturing Arran’s history, landscape or spirit, the winning entry is a piece written by David Cover entitled ‘From The Grain’.
The chosen poem is well suited to feature at the new island distillery as it details stages of the whisky making process in a beautifully creative manner and was described as a ‘wonderful, playful piece of work’ by competition judge Kenny Smith, web editor of Scottish Field magazine, a sister publication of The Arran Banner.
