Congratulations to our winners!
The Friends of the Falconer Museum invited authors to send in a short essay relating to Hugh Falconer’s life or the museum bearing his name.
We received entries from near and far, from Forres, London, India and the USA. A big THANK YOU to all who participated. It was a pleasure to read your essays. But we only had three prizes to give, and we had to come to a decision.
The winner of the Falconer 150 Essay Competition is
Scott Keir with his essay ‘What to bin and what to keep’: Museums as collective memory.
