Here are the results of our most recent newsletter competition…

Last week, we had three copies of Ann Lingard’s The Fresh and the Salt: The Story of the Solway to give away, courtesy of Birlinn. We asked:

Which mysterious figure garnered mass media coverage, and the attention of ufologists, when it was captured in the background of a photo taken on Burgh Marsh, overlooking the Solway Firth, in 1964?

And the answer is: the Solway Firth Spaceman. The winners are Kath Hayes, Chris Woolls, and Denise Vale. Your prizes should be with you very soon!

To be in with the chance of winning our next prize — one of three bundles of Seamus Fogarty records, each comprising vinyl copies of both Seamus’s most recent album, A Bag Of Eyes, and 2017’s The Curious Hand, courtesy of Domino — make sure you’re signed up to our mailing list. The sign-up bar is in the top right-hand corner of this page.
