You could secure a cracker of a present for a friend or loved one courtesy of the Auld Kirk Museum in Kirkintilloch.

The popular Christmas Art & Craft exhibition is back between Saturday 4 November and 20 December 2023.

This year’s guest artist is Denise Chateau-Loney. Denise, who lives and works in Milngavie, is a botanical artist and bookbinder, working with eco printing and watercolours.

As always, there will be an interesting range of handmade artwork, jewellery, ceramics, soaps, candles, woodwork, and glass and textile crafts on show, sourced locally and nationally – including a selection box of potential gift ideas.
