South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture

 

Standing outside the entrance to Low Parks Museum is a simple, bronze memorial plaque on a polished granite plinth that bears the words “The Dutch Don’t Forget”. The plaque was presented to veterans of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, a Scottish, Territorial Army formation that played a vital part in the liberation of the Netherlands in the final stages of the Second World War. The message is simple, the Dutch will never forget the sacrifices made by the men of the 52nd (Lowland) Division in freeing them from Nazi oppression.

Two battalions of The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) proudly fought in the Dutch campaign in the Second World War. The 6th Battalion, historically covering the county of Lanarkshire, and the 7th Battalion, drawn mainly from the south side of the city of Glasgow.

This commemorative exhibition highlights the part played by these two battalions, as part of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, in this pivotal stage of the Second World War.

Free entry, open Tuesday to Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm.

Cost: Free admission

The musical comedy hit of 2024!

It’s 1979. Does the wean want a chopper for Christmas or does mammy fancy a new outfit from What Every Woman Wants?

The cost of living? The cost of loving? Does mammy need some help? Well Margaret Morrison is that friendly face, who can help. The Provident Woman knocked on many a door on a Friday, offering friendly loans to families struggling to make ends meet. But what cost life? What cost love? What every woman wants? Or was it what she needed?

The musical comedy smash hit of 2023 -2024 makes its final rounds in 2025. Don’t miss it! A gritty musical comedy, with a fabulous soundtrack to the 70s, featuring a superb all-female cast.
