‘This is Scotland' exhibition opens at Roger Billcliffe Gallery
(Image: James Fullarton) Bowling on the Clyde is particularly popular with George Devlin and Lesley Banks. As are Arran, the Bass Rock, Angus fields from James McIntosh Patrick, the Lanarkshire Hills by Duncan Shanks and Michael Corsar's twilight memories of Loch Linnhe. Too many to mention but, unsurprisingly this year, little sign of rain and no midges.

Meghan Markle 'rubbed salt in Harry's wounds' as she 'failed to help him heal'
A royal expert has claimed that Princess Diana acted as a "stabilising and steadfast presence" for Prince Charles - while Meghan Markle 'rubbed salt in Harry's wounds' Meghan Markle has been slammed for "rubbing salt in the wound" rather than backing her husband Prince Harry like her Royal equivalent the Princess of Wales, according to a Royal expert. Kate Middleton has been hailed for serving as William's "strength and stay" and assisting him in "healing" his emotional scars, in stark contrast to the Duchess of Sussex, who allegedly has the "opposite effect" on the Duke. Journalist and Michael Gove's former wife, Sarah Vine, urged the Royal Family to take inspiration from the late Queen's approach by "compartmentalising" feelings to prevent emotions from interfering with their judgement. She suggested that by following Queen Elizabeth's example, they might eventually succeed in mending the fractured relationships "over time". Vine argued that the Prince of Wales carries just as many emotional scars as Prince Harry and was fiercely protective of his younger brother, whilst simultaneously coping with their mother's death. This made Harry's behaviour towards the Waleses "so painful and hard to forgive." Writing in her Daily Mail column, she stated: "Instead of indulging his pain, feeding off it even, as Harry has done, he seems to have mastered it, channelling it into his royal roles and his family. Then again, he had slightly better luck - or judgment - than his brother, in that he had the good sense to marry the Princess of Wales. "Without her stabilising and steadfast presence, who knows where he might be? As the late Queen said of Prince Philip, Kate has, quite simply, been William's strength and stay," reports the Scottish Daily Express. She further commented: "Sadly, the Duchess of Sussex seems to have had the opposite effect on Prince Harry. Instead of helping him heal his emotional wounds, she seems to have re-opened them - or even rubbed salt in them, some might say. "Instead of encouraging him to shape his own identity within the Royal Family, she has helped him turn his back on it. Which might have been fine if together they had embarked on something truly life-affirming. But they didn't. "They've walked away, but they keep looking over their shoulders. They are obsessed with the very thing they supposedly hate, and that's never a good frame of mind to be in. "Every venture the duke and duchess have undertaken since their departure has revolved around their royal status." It comes as a meeting took place just last week between Prince Harry's chief communications officer, Meredith Maines, and King Charles III' s communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae. Maines could potentially be Harry's 'secret weapon' when it comes to reuniting the Royal Family. She was the one who arranged Prince Harry's BBC interview in May, where he expressed his desire for a reconciliation with the King and Prince William. He confessed his caution of conflict and shared his concerns about Charles' health, admitting he did "not know how much longer [his] father has." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

King Charles delights staff as he visits luxury vegan chocolate shop in Scotland
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE King stunned staff after popping into a luxury vegan chocolate shop during a recent trip to Scotland. Charles visited Campbelltown, in Argyll and Bute, while he was on a Royal tour north of the border earlier this month. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The King visited Fetcha Chocolates in Campbelltown earlier this month Credit: Instagram/fetchachocolates 5 Charles told shop owner Fiona that he had heard all about her special treats Credit: Instagram/fetchachocolates 5 And she actually created a special box of chocolates for him Credit: Instagram/fetchachocolates He visited different parts of the county over several days as part of the annual Holyrood Week, also known as 'Royal Week', which celebrates Scottish culture and local communities. More than a thousand people stood behind crash barriers to see the Monarch as he toured the town on July 3. He wore his own King Charles III tartan kilt especially for the visit, as he stopped by a number of shops in the area. And one place the King decided to pop into was Fetcha Chocolates - a store which specialises in vegan confectionery. The shop, located on the town's Main Street, is famous for its incredible treats since it opened in 2022. Owner Fiona McArthur was delighted by his visit and said she never "in a million years" expected to have royalty in her store. Such a treat to welcome the King... In a million years, I didn't expect to have actual royalty in my wee shop in the West of Scotland Fiona McArthur The chocolatier founded Fetcha Chocolates in 2019, and her treats have hit the headlines numerous times over the years. Most recently, she received widespread recognition for her incredible 'Everyone Wins' gift bags at the Oscars in 2024, which were full of movie-themed chocolates and were worth over $170,000. And staff actually created a special box of chocolates for King Charles which they gave to him when he visited the store. It combined many of the Oscars-themed flavours as well as a number of flavours from their new The Cannes Collection, which was designed specifically for this year's festival. Huge Prince Harry update as he arranges peace summit with King Charles 'within weeks' – but has no plans to meet William Workers filmed the exciting moment when Fiona met the King when he arrived at the shop. After a formal introduction, Charles can be heard telling Fiona in the short clip, 'I've been hearing about your chocolates.' The video was shared on the shop's Instagram account as they gushed over their royal visitor. It was captioned: "Such a treat to welcome the King into our shop today. "We discussed how far the business has come in these last few years, and he left with some of our Awards Collection chocolates. "In a million years, I didn't expect to have actual royalty in my wee shop in the West of Scotland!" Loyal followers flocked to the comments of the post to congratulate the team. One person said: "What an honour! I would've died of excitement." Another added: "Congratulations!!! This is a testament to your achievements... Well done to you all!" Someone else posted: "How wonderful! Congratulations Fiona". SPECIAL TREAT STAFF prepared a special box of chocolates for the King ahead of his visit earlier this month. The box included some of the movie-themed treats that were created especially for the Oscars in 2024. These treats featured flavours inspired by films, including Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Barbie, Maestro, The Holdovers, and Oppenheimer. The Oppenheimer chocolate has become a fan favourite and combines dark chocolate, chilli, and popping candy. The box also included many treats from the Fetcha Chocolates' The Cannes Collection. These were Yuzu Ganache, Lucuma Caramel, Cappuccino, Matcha and Lime, Mexican Hot Chocolate, and even Haggis Spice. While a fourth shared: "Phenomenal - something above and beyond even the amazing Oscars and Cannes experiences. A compliment to your hard work and excellent product." And a fifth chimed in: "This is so special, you're amazing". Fetcha Chocolates wasn't the only place that the King visited during his tour. He first visited the local farmers' market, where he watched sheep being sheared, met representatives from charity and community organisations in the town hall, and finally visited the harbour area. And then Charles kept out the cold with a dram of whisky on his visit to the historic town. Charles readily sipped an award-winning 25-year-old single malt by the Glen Scotia distillery. The town made its fortune producing whisky, which was sold around the globe and is now making a resurgence. 5 Staff were delighted by King Charles' visit Credit: Instagram/fetchachocolates

An immersive floral fantasy has taken over ARTECHOUSE in Chelsea
This summer in New York City, experience the unbelievable beauty of nature—without actually having to go outside. Head over to ARTECHOUSE in Chelsea Market now until Labor Day and immerse yourself in a new botanically inspired multi-sensory exhibition, " Blooming Wonders." This pixelated ever-moving landscape featuring psychedelic pink daises, fluttering butterflies and some abstract surpises is accompanied by calming, dreamlike ambient music. The new 40-minute experience lets you hang out inside the 270-degree, floor-to-ceiling 18K-resolution digital canvas inside of the historic market's 100-year-old boiler room, while experiencing the fleeting beauty of spring and summer blooms come to life with immersive, interactive technology. While you're there, don't forget to grab a "Blooming"-inspired drink from the bar upstairs, like their take on an Aperol Spritz (think less Aperol and more "peachy" flavors). After drinks, head downstairs into the main room, find a floor cushion or open bench, enjoy some air-conditioning and get lost in the rich florals. Once you've finished the experience in the main gallery, you can head back upstairs past the bar to the small gallery on display, where you can find two different video games set up for you to mess around with. You can also get a bird's-eye view of the main room over the balcony while you're up there. Plus, it's a great excuse to partake in some shameless people-watching. "Blooming Wonders" builds upon ARTECHOUSE's established history of collaboration between artists (like Refik Anadol, Yuko Shimizu, and Vince Fraser) and outside collaborators (Pantone, the United Nations Foundation, the Society for Neuroscience, and the Nobel Prize Museum) with ARTECHOUSE's own team of designers, architects, producers and storytellers. Together, they are able to bring new concepts to life—making ARTECHOUSE an innovative leader in digital and experiential art. So if you need a break from the heat of the city and are looking for an indoor activity for the day, "Blooming Wonders" is a must-see. You can grab some lunch in Chelsea Market after, or go back for round two at ARTECHOUSE and see their other summer experience: " Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified, The Immersive Rock Experience." General admission tickets start at $24.50. For children, ages 15 and under, tickets are $18 for time-slots before 6pm. Discounted rates are also available for students, seniors, military, first responders, and small groups of 4-9 people. and on site at the venue.
