CONTENTS T hese last few weeks we’ve been gearing up for the Commonwealth Games. No, we haven’t been doing lunges in the office – instead, we’ve been discovering the
incredible number of cultural activities that will be taking place in Glasgow at the

end of July.
Both Culture 2014 (the Scotland-wide arts programme that continues until the end of August) and Festival 2014 (that’s the Glasgow-set, Games-time, cultural celebrations) ensure
that there will be plenty to feed the mind alongside all those physical pursuits.
