THE fact that Scotland’s testing figures have fallen well behind the strategy outlined by the First Minister on April 3 of “proportionately” matching those of the UK government is a cause for concern, and the reasons for it certainly merit examination, but it would be hasty to regard it as an indictment of overall policy.

For me, art galleries have always provided shelter from the storm. The tempest in question might be a literal one, such as Storm Dennis, who buffeted us all from on high last weekend, or it could simply be a sudden squall in the mind.

The contemporary art space Cample Line has been set up amongst the fields and agricultural vistas of Dumfriesshire for three years now.
