Scotland to stage cultural events alongside COP26
Details of the cultural events set to mark COP26 across Scotland have been confirmed.
Scotland's five national performing arts companies are all organising events, with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra scheduled to welcome delagates to Glasgow on November 1.
Creative Carbon Scotland has announced seven new Climate Beacons hubs, a collaborative project between local climate change, environmental, arts, heritage and cultural organisations.
Museums and Galleries Scotland, Historic Environment Scotland and the Climate Heritage Network have joined forces on a website, Culture at COP, that showcases cultural activities around the conference.
Culture Minister Jenny Gilruth says the sector has a major role to play in encouraging debate around environmental issues.
"COP26 in Glasgow is a once in a lifetime event and our cultural organisations have risen to the occasion by programming an impressive line-up of live and online activities."
