Long-standing Wyllie Chum, Joan McAlpine, MSP, is a Greenock girl who has an eloquent turn of phrase. She spent many a long year at the coal-face of journalism before becoming an MSP. A definite asset to Holyrood.
She still writes a column for The Scotsman and this week, she turned her attention to the genius of George Wyllie. 
What can we say? We agree with Joan... 
She has put into words what many of us feel about George's work in the most articulate way imaginable.
