Imagine my surprise when checking out the Scottish Round Up site to find that yours truly has come out No. 1 in the culture category in the Scotblogs awards.

I suppose I just about qualify for the accolade as I do discuss books and architecture in amongst all the football and pedantry.

Hermann Göring is often quoted as saying “when I hear the word culture I reach for my revolver” but that would be more than a bit extreme. However, the quote apparently comes from somewhere else.

Thanks to all who voted for me. (There must have been at least five people since the top five culture blogs were listed.)
