Dumfriesshire poet Hugh McMillan has received an unexpected invitation to attend 10 Downing Street tomorrow.
He has been asked to make the journey down to London to read his work at an event celebrating Scottish culture on Burns Night.
Hugh, who lives in Penpont, said: “It’s a bit of a surprise as my politics don’t exactly agree with the present UK Government’s ... and that is clear in a lot of my work.
