In the pink
Fife-based Springthyme Records are making two long-out-of-print items from the Scottish folk LP back catalogue available once again on CD. Savourna Stevenson's Tickled Pink, from 1985, marked the beginning of a career that has earned the harpist international recognition as both musician and composer.
The other release is the self-titled sole recording from 1984 by all-female group Sprangeen, members of which went on to form the Poozies, who have a Fringe date at the Queen's Hall tomorrow.

All seeing eye
The exhibition What We Have Done, What We Are About To Do has opened at the CCA in Glasgow. It features over 140 films that document the activity of the Third Eye Centre in the 1970s.
The footage covers the early existence of the organisation when it was based in Glasgow's Blythswood Square, the construction of a gallery space and cafe at Sauchiehall Street and features many famous artists, bands and performers.
Until September 15. www.cca-glasgow.com
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
