Barrett presents prizes to Corstorphine young artists

John Barrett MP, the Scottish Liberal Democrat MP for Edinburgh West, will today present the Corstorphine Fair Art Prizes to winners at the Gyle Shopping Centre.

The works of art were submitted by schools throughout the Corstorphine area and are currently on display in the Gyle Centre, which is sponsoring the event.

John Barrett MP said:

"As the husband of a wildlife artist, I believe it important to encourage artistic ability, especially among children.

"Hopefully, events like this put on by the organisers of the Corstorphine Fair serve such a purpose and I am delighted to able to play a part in it."
