Join poet Jim Carruth in a captivating conversation about his book Far Field, the final installment in The Auchensale Trilogy. This remarkable collection of poetry cycles delves into the ever-changing rural landscape of the West of Scotland. Carruth’s poetic verses beautifully weave together three cycles, complemented by poignant footers. Drawing inspiration from the works of the renowned Glasgow Boys, he crafts a series of poems in response to their artistry, particularly their depictions of agricultural communities. Intimately personal, Carruth’s poems explore the complexities of family dynamics, including a touching series of elegies dedicated to his late father. Looking towards the future, the poet also contemplates the challenges that lie ahead for his family farm and the responsibility of passing the baton to the next generation. Born in Johnstone and raised on a farm near Kilbarchan, Carruth's talent has garnered much recognition. He has published several collections, including his debut work Bovine Pastoral, which was awarded the prestigious Calum MacDonald Memorial Award. Additionally, he was honored with a Robert Louis Stevenson Fellowship and won the James McCash poetry competition. His appointment as Poet Laureate of Glasgow in 2014 further solidified his status as a leading rural poet in Scotland. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with Carruth's unique poetic voice that effortlessly captivates even those who rarely delve into the realm of poetry.

This is simply a dream castle. When I arrived, it was the April holiday, and there were almost no people on the road. Only the ancient buildings stood in the cold air, solemn and heavy, which made people feel awe.

This museum is a place where people have to punch in. I especially like the oil paintings in the museum. After seeing it, I feel a great enjoyment. The museum is also a favorite place for primary and secondary school students.

We came here on a spontaneous visit one Sunday afternoon in January and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our wee boy loved seeing the &ldquo;old fashioned house&rdquo; and was so well looked after by all the staff, from the cash register to the flat and back out again.

We went round twice (with a shift change between visits!) and the insight into one story of no doubt thousands like it in Glasgow was fantastic. Plus our boy thoroughly enjoyed colouring in his wallie dug. A hidden gem that is well worth the wander through Garnethill.

It is said that it can be traced back to the famous William Conquest period. It was built to commemorate St. Diego. It took hundreds of years to build and has been around for nearly a thousand years. It is the oldest religious building in the entire Scottish region. It is also a must-see for tourists.

George Square is located in Glasgow city center and is very conveniently accessible by train or subway. On nice days, you can sunbathe and watch pigeons in the square. It is close to the famous shopping street, where you can buy souvenirs, clothes, shoes and socks. There are also many restaurants and eateries to choose from. 
George Square is a must-see attraction. In addition to admiring the architecture of the square;during different festivals, such as Christmas, the square is built into a Christmas Market, becoming a dynamic and happy atmosphere.
