SLLC’s Culture department offer a wide range of “art” activities to the local community which includes painting and drawing, ceramics, stained glass, dressmaking, traditional arts and crafts, guitar, drumming and much more.

All our tutors are talented artists and committed to inspiring participants of all ages and abilities in their creative work by passing on their expert knowledge and techniques to participants whilst building up their confidence to express themselves in whatever way they wish.

This exhibition showcases the wealth of talent that we are lucky to have within our family of “tutors”.

Heritage Trail

A walking and cycling route between two of South Lanarkshire’s most prestigious historic buildings enhanced to provide an opportunity for everyone to enjoy and engage with their local heritage and landscape, while benefitting their health and wellbeing.

The app called "Chatelherault to Low Parks Heritage Trail" (a free download from Google Play or the App Store, depending on your device) details and tracks your route while providing heritage content along the way. Learn key facts about the landscape’s history and enjoy archive images and historic footage to enhance your experience.

Finish off with a leisurely wander around the museum, a browse in the shop or visit the café for a spot of something lovely! This route can be reversed, Chatelherault’s shop and café are also well worth a visit!

The project has been funded by Smarter Choices, Smarter Places – Paths for All’s grant scheme to support behavioural change initiatives to improve people’s lives.
