A VARIETY of cultural activities will be taking place in Renfrewshi­re over the next few months.

Art lovers will be able to see one of Scotland’s most iconic paintings when it is put on display at Paisley Museum.

The town is only one of four places in the country to put the famous Monarch of the Glen painting by Sir Edwin Landseer on show, as part of a nationwide tour organised by the National Galleries of Scotland.

The free viewings will take place at Paisley Museum between January 20 and March 11.

The Guide, published this week, showcases a diverse range of shows, events, exhibition­s and workshops being staged by Renfrewshi­re Leisure between now and summer.

Highlights include puppet shows Little Light and Conan the Dragon, staged at Paisley Arts Centre.

Ballet West will also bring their enchanting performanc­e of Giselle ou les Wilis to Paisley Town Hall on February 2.

Joyce McKellar, chief executive of Renfrewshi­re Leisure, said: “We may have missed out on City of Culture, but we’re not going to be short on cultural activities over the next few months.”

The Guide can be picked up for free at Paisley Museum, Paisley Arts Centre, the town halls at Paisley, Johnstone and Renfrew or downloaded from renfrewshi­releisure.com
