I’m an artist from the west of Scotland who does oil paintings of farm animals, especially highland cows.

Do people other than tourists like this sort of art? I’ve not managed to find my target audience yet and don’t know if I should be aiming at city folk that can’t look out their window and see farm life.

I also do pet portraits but love my farm animal paintings

Thanks for any replies

Hi everyone! I’m considering applying for the LANTRA course at SRUC next year. How was your experience? Was it helpful to get a job?

Any advice or insights would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone:)

I hope its OK to share it here. If not please let me know where I could share it 🙏

I’m a trainee psychologist working in the NHS Maternity and Neonatal Psychological Intervention Service. I’m currently looking for pregnant participants for non profit study on wellbeing and anxiety during pregnancy. This is an important area of maternal mental health where more research is needed. The findings may help us better understand the psychological factors linked with antenatal anxiety and how mental health support during pregnancy could be improved.

The study has received sponsorship and ethical approval from the University of Edinburgh.Ethics Committee Reference: 25-26CLPS111

The study involves completing a short, anonymous online survey which takes around 20 minutes. If you would like to take part, please click the link below:

If you have any questions, you are more than welcome to email me at [M.Domka@sms.ed.ac.uk](mailto:M.Domka@sms.ed.ac.uk)

Thank you so much for supporting pregnancy and maternal mental health research 🌷🙏

Tickets are available online and at the door.

A rare sunny day here on the Misty Isle. And technically Loch Harport.

I bought this badboy home with me after my last trip to the Motherland, but it’s 5 days out of date…

Is it safe?
