BBC News online presented this interesting note:
Officials in Stirling are calling on local wordsmiths to apply to become the city's official poet. The poet will write about the city and about major events
The role of "makar" is being reprised by Stirling Council after a break of 500 years and was last held by William Dunbar in the reign of James IV.
Applicants to the post must live in the area or have a "strong" connection with the city. They will be paid about £500.
