Frances Law

Frances Law's new exhibition is in The Queen's Cross Church
in Glasgow. The Church was designed by Charles Rennie
Mackintosh and is headquarters to the Mackintosh Society.
Frances's works which are based on the interiors of shells
found on Iona work very well in this setting.  Fir the next few
weeks these works can be seen here. Frances was an Aspect
Prize finalist in 2010.

Went to visit Risotto Studios at The Glue Factory in Farnell
Street, Glasgow G4 9SE.
Risotto Studios specialise in Risograph printing. Worth exploring.
They have a fabulous web site.

Corrour Station House Restaurant

This the wonderful Corrour Station House Restaurant. Owned
by the Corrour Estate it is now run by a delightful young couple
Ollie and Lizzie. Lizzie is front of house and Ollie is the chef
and a damned fine chef too.
Set on the wilds of Rannoch Moor, the best way of getting there
is by train. You can go by road but there is over half an hours
drive on estate roads and a four wheel drive vehicle is a necessity.
They have three rooms available which are clean and comfortable.

We took the Mallaig train from Queen Street in Glasgow but for
those of you who live further south, the sleeper from London stops
at Corrour. If you really want to get away from it all this is a good
place. Lots of nice walks. We walked down the side of Loch
Ossian.
