Budding thriller writers have just a couple of days left to enter the Glengoyne-sponsored short story competition which is taking place as part of Bloody Scotland, the forthcoming festival of crime fiction.

Entries for the competition must be in by this Friday, 29 June.

The winner of the competition stands to win not only publication of their tale and tickets to the Bloody Scotland Festival in September, but also a bespoke hand-engraved Glencairn Crystal decanter of 35 Year Old Glengoyne Highland Single Malt.

Your story cannot have been published elsewhere (including on the internet) and must be all your own work.

Competition details can be found at www.bloodyscotland.com/competition/.
