McIlvanney Prize 2020

The 2020 McIlvanney Prize for the Scottish Crime Book of the Year and the Bloody Scotland Debut Crime Book of the Year were presented in a virtual ceremony on September 18.

Both awards are ordinarily handed out at the Bloody Scotland festival in Stirling, Scotland, which was cancelled this year. The announcement was still made online in the month when the festival would have taken place.
