Congratulations to Robin Robertson who has won the tenth Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, becoming both the first Scot and the first poet to win the £25,000 Prize in its ten year history.

Accepting the Prize for his book The Long Take from writer Alexander McCall Smith and the Prize’s sponsor the Duke of Buccleuch, Robin Robertson said that, like Walter Scott, he had started as a poet and then moved into narrative fiction ‘by accident’, as The Long Take started as a poem but became something longer.

The Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction will be announced
at the Borders Book Festival in Melrose on Saturday 15 June.
Sponsored by the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, the winning
author will receive £25,000 and a commissioned glass panel
made by Lindean Mill Glass.

The shortlisted authors are;
Peter Carey: A Long Way from Home
Cressida Connolly: After the Party
Samantha Harvey: The Western Wind
Andrew Miller: Now We Shall be Entirely Free
Michael Ondaatje: Warlight
Robin Robertson: The Long Take
