PUPILS from Arkleston Primary, in Renfrew, were given a special preview of the Marvelling the Monoarch painting The Monarch of the Glen by Sir Edwin Landseer, before it goes on display at Paisley Museum.

Paisley is one of only four venues in the country chosen by the National Galleries of Scotland for the painting to go on show.

It is on view, for free, at Paisley Museum from tomorrow until March 11. The painting was bought for the nation for £4 million from drinks giant Diageo last year, after a four-month fundraising campaign.
