Bill Thomson lives in Glenrothes and managed to go through life without being able to read. He was 50 years old when it was discovered that he suffered from Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome. His condition makes it difficult to see black letters on a white background. With help from Fife Adult Education Unit he overcame his disability and learnt to read. Bill is now a prolific writer. His books of poetry and short stories have been published and exhibited at the Royal Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Bill Thomson has won various educational awards which included the Scottish Television's Adult Learners Award presented May 1997. He was a runner up in the Sunday Mail's Great Scot of the Year Award in 2000.
