Artist Sheila Mullen will be signing copies of her new book The Bairns o Adam at Thomas Tosh in Thornhill this Saturday (25th June) from 10.30am-12.30pm.

And Thomas Tosh is also exhibiting the impressive original paintings featured in Sheila’s book.

Loves lost, ghostly visitors, riotous behaviour and some ghastly deeds feature in the paintings. And Sheila will also be talking about the Scottish tales, ballads and poems that have inspired her work and feature in her new book.

The exhibition runs until 30th June.

Mary Bromilow book signing today

Mary Bromilow is signing her new book: The Clydesdale-Workhorse of the World, from 10am-12.30pm this morning (Saturday 30th April). It's a handsome book. And it has an introduction from HRH The Prince of Wales if you are looking for a little royalty fix today.

And the Thornhill Blues festival continues today as well. There's bands in the pubs from 1pm and in Wallace Hall Academy later in the afternoon. It was a good night here in the village last night, so looking forward to the Festival today.
