WritingAye, Write!
Have you been writing away on your own for a while - or do you just need a bit of focus and some stimulus to get started. ALP's Aye, Write! Project offers the chance to write, share and develop through poems, stories, monologues – as well as practical ways to get your words out to the public. No experience necessary. Professional writer/tutor Billy Cornwall (guest writers planned).
*** Tuesdays evening 7.15-9.15pm. For more details contact Billy at ALP.

Rantin Rhymers The History of Scottish Poetry
We propose to develop a learning project exploring the history of Scottish poetry. From the gaelic bard to the Bard himself. Stevenson, Scott, Morgan, Lochhead and Carol Ann Duffy.

Ceilidh nan Amhrain Gaihlig
This project brings together Gaelic song from Scotland and Ireland, in an informal ceilidh setting. Learning the songs phonetically and singing together is a great way into the language and a good night out.
