The personal library owned by a 17th century Scottish minister, academic and administrator has been brought together for the first time in more than 370 years. Now it is hoped that these books, many of which have notes in the margins, will allow scholars to better understand this tumultuous time in Scottish and European history. Zachary Boyd (1585–1653) was a Calvinist minister and scholar who managed to navigate the religious and political turmoil of his era through a combination of pragmatism, principle and literary devotion. Boyd’s sermons draw extensively on classical literature and new analysis of his manuscripts show for the first time his knowledge of other contemporary French, English and Scottish poets. As well as poetry, Boyd also wrote several plays based on the Bible, and, unusually for a minister at this time, one on the Gunpowder Plot.

Pictured Mr Petrus Vaalbooi speaks The University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel. The Hunterian at the University of Glasgow, in collaboration with the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Mr Gayton McKenzie, through the implementing agencies, Iziko Museums of South Africa and the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA), and in partnership with the Northern Cape Reburial Task Team, have jointly announced the repatriation of ancestral human remains from The Hunterian collection in Glasgow, Scotland, to South Africa. This milestone for South Africa has been enabled by the recently endorsed National Policy on Repatriation of Human Remains and Heritage Objects. The policy has created a structured framework for coordinated country-to-country repatriation and set the foundation for a more inclusive and state-led redress process. With this project coming to full circle is the first implementation of the one of the policy mandates on the repatriation and restitution of human remains in foreign institutions such as Museums.

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland conferred an honorary doctorate in production arts on Bunny Christie OBE, a multi-award-winning set and costume designer whose creative vision has transformed the world’s most celebrated theatre productions. With two Tony Awards and four Olivier Awards under her belt, Christie made history as the first woman to win the Olivier Award for Best Design and was also the first woman to receive the Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Awards for Best Designer. Born and raised in St Andrews, she has a long relationship with the National Theatre, designing in all its theatre spaces and devising shows at the NT Studio. Her work at the NT covers production and costume design for many of the classics and new plays. One of her most celebrated designs, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, premiered at the National Theatre before transferring to the West End and Broadway, winning widespread acclaim, and completing UK, US and East Asian tours. She also devised a small-scale touring version of Curious Incident, giving many students their first experience of live theatre and supporting the teaching of drama in schools.

Expert scholars and Outlander fans are joining Dr Gabaldon to tackle themes such as Jacobite history, screen production, Scottish tourism, Gaelic and Scots, costume design, fandom, Claire Fraser’s medicine, and witchcraft. Dr Gabaldon’s talk is entitled, '"Why Scotland? Why Not Mexico?" Genes, Borders, Culture and Fiction: Why They Matter and When They Don't'. The author, who was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Glasgow last year, said: “My lecture will be partly personal, as in why did I write a book set in Scotland. I will also be talking about how do I go about my business of writing, and what, if any, limits do I observe in what I write of how I write it.” The Outlander literary series is made up of nine thrilling instalments, and tells the tale of a post-Second World War nurse who accidentally time travels to Jacobite Scotland. Outlander became one of the bestselling book series of all time and spawned the hugely popular TV series, currently in its seventh season. The International Outlander Conference will take place from 18-22 July at the University of Glasgow and promises to be a landmark event.

Pictured Tyler Fernando (6) from Broomhill Primary School in Glasgow meets Trix for the first time. Now the big build is complete and Kelvin Hall is ready to welcome the public to the T. rex in Town exhibition from Thursday 18 April. With ferocious teeth and short arms, the Tyrannosaurus rex is probably the most well-known dinosaur in the world. The 66 to 67-million-year-old T. rex female is 39-foot long, around 13 feet high and weighs a colossal 5,000 kg. The iconic dinosaur has spent the last year touring European countries as part of an interactive and educational exhibition, T. rex in Town, which explains the story of her life and discovery of her skeleton. She is currently the only real T. rex on tour in the world while her museum in the Netherlands is being redeveloped. Over a million people have already visited the exciting interactive exhibition across Europe. Trix will be in Glasgow for 15 weeks until 31 July 2019. The T. rex’s visit to Glasgow’s Kelvin Hall is the only city in UK or Ireland to be visited by Trix. After her Scottish stop off she will return to Naturalis Biodiversity Center in her home city of Leiden, in the Netherlands. Once her visit to Glasgow is finished it is unlikely she will go on tour again. Trix’s arrival at Kelvin Hall positions the west end of Glasgow as the dinosaur capital of Scotland! T. rex in Town overlaps with the final weeks of Dippy on Tour from the Natural History Museum at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, just across the road from Kelvin Hall. Steph Scholten, Director of The Hunterian, said: “Bringing this major touring exhibition to the city will allow thousands of Scots, and visitors to Scotland, to see one of the world’s most iconic dinosaur species.

Cher takes the audience by the hand and introduces them to the influential people in her life, from her mother and Sonny Bono, to fashion designer and costumier Bob Mackie. It shows how she battled the men who underestimated her, fought the conventions and, above all, was a trailblazer for independence. The musical is packed with 35 of her biggest hits, including If I Could Turn Back Time, I Got You Babe, Strong Enough, The Shoop Shoop Song and Believe. The Cher Show runs from Tuesday 27 September - Saturday 1 October.

A fitting title for the city, the show stars Strictly favourite Kevin Clifton as Cosmo Brown and takes us on a journey to the glamour of Hollywood in the roaring 20s. Dan Lockwood has it all, a string of hit films and a studio-engineered romance with the most beautiful actress in town. What Don doesn’t know is that the silver screen is about to find its voice, and a chance meeting with a talented young chorus girl set to steal his heart promises to change both Don, and Hollywood, forever.

Dacre Stoker, the great grandnephew of the famous writer, called at The Grand Old Lady of Hope Street too see where his great uncle worked with Henry Irvine and The Lyceum Company in Faust which was the theatre’s opening performance Dacre is in Scotland to mark the 125th anniversary of Dracula and will be checking into landmarks which were thought to the be inspiration the tale. In partnership with Visit Scotland, Dacre has spots including Cruden Bay in the North East and Renfield Street in Glasgow city on his itinerary. Dacre said: "I am very excited to visit the Theatre Royal Glasgow, it is the city’s oldest theatre and is the longest-running theatre in Scotland. This was where Bram Stoker made his debut working for Henry Irving, in November 1878, a business and personal relationship that lasted 27 years until Irving’s death in 1905." James Haworth, Theatre Director at Theatre Royal, said: “It’s an honour to welcome Dacre to Theatre Royal and show him where Bram worked. The Lyceum’s Faust was the first the performance to be staged here, so it’s lovely to meet a connection to our building’s history and hear more about the man behind Dracula.” Photograph by Martin Shields Tel 07572 457000 www.martinshields.com © Martin Shieldshttps://martinshields.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/marys-meals-cycle-1.jpgmarys-meals-cycle-1A great grandmother is pedalling her best foot forward to help feed some of the world’s poorest children with Mary’s Meals.

The Oliver Award-winning musical tells the story of Franki Valli and The Four Seasons as they rose to fame from the streets New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Pictured at the Finnieston Crane L to r Blair Gibson (Bob Gaudio) Michael Pickering (Frankie Valli) Dalton Wood (Tommy DeVito) Lewis Griffiths (Nick Massi) They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard … and the radio just couldn’t get enough of.  But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story - a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. The show features all the hits including Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Oh What A Night, Walk Like A Man, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You and Working My Way Back To You. Jersey Boys runs until Saturday 7 May.
