The Dr Gavin Wallace Fellowship for Writers

The motion

That the Parliament laments the passing of Dr Gavin Wallace; considers that Dr Wallace, who passed away in February 2013, was an esteemed teacher, lecturer, critic, journalist, editor, broadcaster and a central figure in the literary activities of both Creative Scotland and the Scottish Arts Council and sends condolences to his family and friends; welcomes the establishment of the Dr Gavin Wallace Fellowship, which, it understands, will fund a year-long literary adventure for aspiring writers; commends Creative Scotland and the Association for Scottish Literary Studies for honouring the life of Dr Wallace through the fellowship; encourages writers to take advantage of this opportunity to develop their craft while advancing Dr Wallace’s legacy; believes that the fellowship is a positive addition to Scotland’s resources for artists, and hopes to see the implementation of similarly supportive initiatives in the future.
