William Neill

William Neill

"Disambiguation: "William Neill" was also the birth name of Bud Neill"

William Neill (born 1922) is a Scottish poet who writes in Scottish and Irish Gaelic, Lowland Scots and English. He was a frequent contributor to both "Catalyst" and "Gairm" magazines. As a young writer, he studied the poets of the Scottish Renaissance, and views 'modern assertions that "Scots was dying in the time of Burns" as the assertions of dyed-in-the-wool townies. Awards for poetry have included The Grierson Verse Prize (1970), Sloan Prize (1970) and a Scottish Arts Council Book Award (1985). He now lives in Galloway and was born in Prestwick, Ayrshire; he is not to be confused with Bud Neill who was born as "William Neill", and was also from Ayrshire originally.
