AN EXHIBITION of work by local artists Ted and Elizabeth Odling will open in Helensburgh Library tomorrow.
Following the success of the exhibition of her parents work that daughter Noelle set up on Lismore last autumn, it has been arranged to stage the exhibition in Helensburgh Library on West King Street until October 31.
HELENSBURGH is given a mention in a new book about Glasgow . . . thanks to TV inventor John Logie Baird.
A new guidebook, '111 Places in Glasgow That You Shouldn't Miss', is a tribute to the fascinating city, known as Dear Green Place, and the people who have given it music, art, history, architecture, whisky tasting, and stories.
THE FUTURE looks bleak again for the former St Peter’s Seminary at Kilmahew, Cardross, as the charity seeking to restore it has folded.
Built as a college to train Catholic priests during the 1960s, the Seminary was only in use for 14 years and then was abandoned for decades.
A NEW leaflet promoting the range of routes available to walkers in Arrochar and the surrounding area has been launched.
The leaflet, published by the Arrochar and Tarbet Community Development Trust, was funded by the Friends of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs’ Business in the Park scheme, and its design was supported by the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
MAJOR upgrading of the Battle of Glen Fruin memorial cairn was marked at a ceremony in the glen on Friday June 1 2018.
Improvements to the area around the cairn were welcomed by Sir Malcolm Colquhoun of Luss and Trust chairman the Rev David Clark.
A HERITAGE walk was held at Glenarn, Rhu, on Sunday April 29.
Mike Thornley of Glenarn said: "The walk, hopefully, brought to life the history of the garden, Andrew MacGeorge the first owner, and the Gibson family who created the west coast garden on top of the earlier layout.
THIS is the painting visitors to the latest Anderson Trust Local Collection exhibition in Helensburgh Library in West King Street will not see.
The theme of the exhibition, which is open until June, is ‘Sea Lochs and Rivers”, and it had been hoped to include this work by Rhu artist Dr Charles Blatherwick RSW (1836-95) — who featured in Eye on Millig in the autumn.
