The events across Scotland you need to know about this June
Even those who recoil at the thought of weeding and dragging out the mower on a weekly basis can be inspired by the latest major exhibition at V&A Dundee. Garden Futures: Designing with Nature won't exactly provide inspiration for your next remodel but it will open your eyes to the possibilities of what an outdoor space can be. As well as looking at how garden design has developed around the world, often in the most unexpected places, it examines how important having an outside space is to us. This is Scotland's design museum and some of the ideas will be challenging – but looking at the future of gardens goes hand in hand with looking at a greener, more environmentally friendly future. There are examples of innovative garden design from around the globe and work by international designers and landscape architects. (Image: Howard Sooley) Artists have always been inspired by nature and the outdoors and Garden Futures also showcases visual art inspired by our green spaces. The exhibition also pays tribute to community garden projects across Scotland, from the Maxwell Community Garden, part of the Grow Dundee food growing and community garden network, and Oban's Seaweed Gardens. From William Morris to Derek Jarman, there are names with their own individual take on what a garden is and what it can be. There are also ceramics, fashion, painting, textiles, sculpture, interior design, drawings and photographs. Until January 25, 2026 ALL THAT JAZZ June is great month for jazzers. Not only do the hepcats roll into Glasgow, they also head south to Kirkcudbright. From June 18 to 22, Glasgow welcomes its jazz festival, from Santana at the OVO Hydro to the Colin Steele Quartet playing The Blue Nile (extra show added due to demand) to Marianne McGregor and favourite Brian Kellock. Kirkcudbright Jazz Festival is the place to be if New Orleans, Dixieland and Swing jazz is your favourite jam. Kirkcudbright: June 12–15. Glasgow: June 18–22 (Image: Nan Shephard) NAN SHEPHERD: NAKED AND UNASHAMED Whether you recognise Nan Shepherd from a Scottish £5 banknote or not, her story is unmissable and told in a play running at Pitlochry Festival Theatre's Studio until June 14. The Scottish naturalist was also a poet and writer and had an extraordinary life. She is responsible for the classic text The Living Mountain. But it almost stayed undiscovered – lying in a drawer for more than three decades. Writers Richard Baron and Ellie Zeegen bring all of that to life. Running until June 14 PORTRAIT: INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION This fascinating six-week long exhibition focusing on portraiture, currently running at the Glasgow Gallery of Photography, ends on June 20. The High Street gallery offers some surprising takes on a familiar style and the good news is that the gallery offers all of this for free entry. Until June 20 HIDDEN DOOR FESTIVAL The Hidden Door Festival has spent the past 15 years championing new music, theatre, dance and art. It has also found increasingly interesting locations. It's a charity, fully run by volunteers, with everything funded through ticket sales. This year the site is a former industrial site. It's a huge former paper and cardboard box factory, spread over 15 acres and with warehouses, factory floors, offices and outhouses. Since Saica's relocation to Livingston, proposals are being developed for the site but Hidden Door has access right until the end of 2025. June 11–15 WESTFEST Valiantly flying the flag for real community-led events, Westfest Dundee has made a fabulous success from a one-day event, Westfest Sunday, which keeps the concept simple and local. It takes place on Magdalen Green, within site of the Tay and the rail bridge and centres around the Victorian bandstand. A music programme that always includes local schools and keeps the crowds dancing, it's a properly child-friendly event and gives local businesses and charities a high profile for the day. Westfest Dundee – Sunday, June 1 NEIGHBOURHOOD VARIETY SHOW – SAUCHIEHALL STREET The Neighbourhood Variety Show is a performance project, part of the National Theatre of Scotland's Project in North Glasgow. Essentially, the aim of the project is to take a closer look at how artists can collaborate with and enrich their neighbourhood – and it offers a range of artists willing to perform. The Neighbourhood Variety Show: Sauchiehall Street is created by Eoin McKenzie. The first show from the project was in Springburn last year, and the next show takes place on June 5 in association with The Garage. NTS and McKenzie are working in association with Sauchiehall Street: Culture and Heritage District, a 10-year plan to renew the famous street. The Garage. Thursday, June 5. (Image: Betty Boo) BETTY BOO Without doubt one of the most interesting and talented popsters of the late 80s and early 90s is heading out as her alter ego after Alison Moira Clarkson has spent so many years penning major pop hits for other artists. With the rerelease of her acclaimed and popular albums Boomania and GRRR! It's Betty Boo, the shows are sure to be eneregetic and 'pretty pop-tastic'. There will also be bigger shows later in the year but this is your chance to see her in more intimate settings. Glasgow: Wednesday, June 25, Hug & Pint Edinburgh: Thursday June 26 Voodoo Rooms

Mull interior designer to transform island mansion for new BBC series
A Scottish island could soon be home to the perfect getaway thanks to a west Highland interior designer. Banjo Beale, a TV presenter and author from the Isle of Mull, is attempting to rescue a house on the neighbouring island of Ulva by transforming it into a stylish hotel. Once an enchanting Regency home, the abandoned Ulva House mansion fell into a state of disrepair. Bought by the community in 2018, the former residence of the first Governor of Australia, Lachlan MacQuarrie, has been under renovation. With just 14 people left on the west coast island, Banjo – who is best known for hosting the award winning series Designing the Hebrides – is teaming up with his husband Ro to transform the fortunes of the crumbling house and the local community. Relocating to the Isle of Mull's neighbouring island, the couple fear they have 'lost the plot.' Banjo, winner of Interior Design Masters in 2022, said: 'This is my biggest project yet with an absolute nightmare of a client – myself. Ro and I have officially lost the plot. 'We're going to try and rescue a crumbling, abandoned manor on the wild and windswept Isle of Ulva. 'With 16 residents, no (tarmac) roads and no clue how we're going to pull it off, it's going to be my boldest and muddiest adventure yet. 'There'll be midges, madness, and hopefully a miracle or two.' Banjo's husband Ro, added: 'I thought we were just here for a quiet escape, next thing I know, I'm knee-deep in filth, chasing pigs out of the hallway, and somehow in charge of sourcing vintage chandelier crystals from 1855. 'Banjo calls it a vision; I call it grounds for divorce.' The ambitious project will be captured in a new six-part BBC series, Banjo and Ro's Grand Island Hotel. Filming for the show will take place over the next five months. The series will capture the trials and tribulations, and community spirit it takes to bring Ulva House back to life. It is expected to hit TV screens next year. Wendy Rattray, executive producer, said: 'An abandoned house, a wild, untamed landscape. No road access. No running water. Barely any electricity. 'Banjo and Ro may have lost the plot but have no shortage of dreams and schemes as they attempt the most staggering of transformations in one of the most magical parts of the UK. 'We're delighted to be joining Banjo and Ro on this real world, high stakes renovation as they attempt to turn around the fortunes of this once stunning mansion and breathe new life into the island.' Steve Allen, BBC Scotland's executive producer, added: 'Combining the nation's love of interior design and renovation, this series will be full of emotion, skill, and heart. Set amongst a stunning Hebrides backdrop, the weather might not always be warm, but the welcome to Ulva will be.'
