The Sir William Y Darling Award for Good Citizenship for 2012/13 has been awarded to Margaret Walk- er in recognition of her work with young people in the Buckstone area. In nominating Marga-


ret, I, along with Fairmile- head Community Council and Councillor Elaine Aitken, praised her for her commit- ment and tireless work over the past 30 years in running youth projects and establish- ing the Buckstone Youth Club, which has now been running for the past decade. These projects have brought together dozens of local chil- dren, allowing them to have fun and learn in a friendly and safe environment. Lord Provost Donald


Wilson presented the award to Margaret during a civic re- ception at the City Chambers. He said: “Her warm and cheerful character has been


undiminishing through her decades of service to the community, and her drive in organising outings and events for the club members has made her central to their success and popularity.” The Award, which is


made annually to a citizen or citizens who, in the opinion of the Council, "has or have done most for the City's Hon- our and Welfare", was be- queathed by the late Sir William Y Darling, Lord Prov- ost of Edinburgh from 1941– 1944.
