A gallery and arts consultancy at Temple, Midlothian called Lust and the Apple has unveiled its Edinburgh festival shows. The gallery will show work by Lawrence Weiner, Cisco Jimenez, Putput and Malcolm and Leel, from Korea.

Weiner has created a site-specific work for the garden at Lust and The Apple. The new work is to be installed on one of the dry stone dyke walls in the garden of the gallery.

Putput are a duo, Stefan Friedli and Ulrik Martin Larsen, and are currently based in Copenhagen. For their first exhibition in Scotland the Danish duo are exhibiting in the newly installed Greenhouse at Lust and The Apple. A series of faux tools and vegetation created from unusual objects will celebrate the end of summer.

Malcolm and Leel are young emerging artists from Korea who have been based in Scotland for the last few years.

The exhibitions open on August 1 and run until October 18.

The Tidelines Book Festival is to bring writers such as Ann Cleeves, Andrew O’Hagan and others to North Ayrshire in September.

The 2015 festival will run from September 11 to 15 and will see fifteen public events staged in both Largs and Irvine as well as a schools programme.

As in previous years, several of the events will include a buffet as well as author performances, making for a great night out. One of the highlights of the year will be the opening event with the author of the Shetland and Vera crime series, Ann Cleeves (pictured).

Andrew O’Hagan, who grew up in Kilwinning, will be speaking at an event run in association with Irvine Burns Club, talking about his latest novel, The Illuminations.

The full programme is now available and tickets are also now on sale.

The new music video, a collaboration between acclaimed songwriter Kathryn Joseph and Scottish Ballet, has marked the launch of Scottish Ballet Creative, an outlet for artistic projects "exploring the relationship between camera, dance and digital media."

Scottish Ballet worked with Joseph on her single, The Bird.

The Bird, directed by Scottish Ballet filmmaker and graphic designer Eve McConnachie, uses the skills of dancer/choreographer Sophie Laplane, and features Laplane performing her own work.

Singer/songwriter Joseph won the Scottish Album of the Year Award in June for her debut album Bones You Have Thrown Me And Blood I’ve Spilled. This is her first single release from the album.
