FESTIVE ART
Christmas throws the nation into a shopping frenzy. Otherwise imaginative shoppers turn to scent, socks or the ubiquitous box of chocolates when confronted by a swarm of fellow gift-hunters.
So why not break away from the crowds and investigate Scotland's galleries. Artists' multiples, original prints, paintings, rugs and jewellery ranging from a few quid to hundreds of pounds can be found.
Go on, wave goodbye to the department store and pop in to a gallery for that original gift.
