| | | J.K.Rowling plaque to be placed in Scotland
A granite plaque, featuring an image of Jo Rowling, is to be placed outside a Chinese restaurant in Scotland (which used to be a coffee shop) where Harry Potter was first created.
The plaque will form a 'Writer's Corner' of sorts, which also holds memorials to other authors such as Robert Louis Stevenson and William McGonagall. Quote:
He has since secured the support of the building's owners and has even been given some help by the author herself. Mr Watt approached Rowling to see if she could provide a photo for the plaque, which she was happy to do.
The last stumbling block for the plaque is planning permission, and if approved it will read: "JK Rowling wrote some of the early chapters of Harry Potter in the rooms on the first floor of this building."

| That's really cool. Jo should definitely be remembered in that building. It's where it all started, well the writing anyway. I'm glad she's being honored.
