Kitchin meets Mackintosh Get your diaries out and leave Sunday March 11 clear.

The Michelin-star cook will prepare a four-course meal. Katie Targett Adams, the singer and Celtic harpist, will provide entertainment.
Tickets cost £80 per person. Call 0141 353 4770 or visit www.houseforanartlover.co.uk.
The perfect wine? Palmerston's, an award-winning restaurant in Morningside, has acquired Verre de Vin, a system that allows wine to be opened then resealed, and remain in perfect condition.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
