On the afternoon of Tuesday 11th February we held our annual Scots Verse competition. We were delighted that Mike Duguid was once again able to come and listen to the pupils recite their poems plus decide who comes first, second and third. The pupils who were given a place will now represent Kells at the Galloway Music Festival in March.
