Welcome boost for Clydesdale festivals

ALMOST 300 Scottish festivals will get a promotional boost as a new month-by-month guide lists the best of Scottish celebrations, including two in Clydesdale.

Biggar Little Festival and Douglas Folk Festival will appear in the guide, which has been produced by Creative Scotland in partnership with the List magazine.

Over 20,000 copies of the guide will be distributed throughout the North of England; a further 40,000 copies will be sent to tourist venues across Scotland including the Highlands, Aberdeen and the North East and the Scottish Borders.
