I’m English, although I’ve lived in Scotland most of my adult life – and I live in Glasgow,  not Dundee.  I’ve never entered the Leng Scots Song competitions.  However,  I do own a Leng silver medal – I got it on eBay, because I wanted one to illustrate postings about my Leng Medal research project. I put it on a bonnie red tartan ribbon and felt quite pleased with myself. 

But there’s a wee problem! I learnt this week that silver medals came on a narrow blue ribbon. My red tartan gave me away as a rookie. Suitably embarrassed, I rooted around in my ribbons bag and found something more suitable.

And – breathe! That’s better.
