What's On

Colourful stained-glass-style illustration titled 'The Pageant of Ayrshire' with five vertical panels framed in an ornate border of Celtic patterns. Each panel represents a region of Ayrshire, Scotland, with symbolic imagery. From left to right: Panel 1 shows a farmer working in a sunlit field with the caption 'Kyle for a Man'; Panel 2 depicts cows grazing in green pastures with the caption 'Carrick for a Cow'; Panel 3 features a central religious figure in bishop's robes labeled 'The Spirit of Ayrshire'; Panel 4 shows a woman churning milk into dairy products in a brick dairy labeled 'Cunningham for Butter and Cheese'; Panel 5 depicts sheep on rolling hills with the caption 'And Galloway for Oats.' Each panel is set within a pointed gothic window design, and the entire piece is rich with intricate, medieval-style detailing.
