A PLACE to remember and allow people to reflect on the devastating consequences of the past 11 months was one of the hopes of The Herald memorial garden campaign.
Coronavirus has torn through families and left loved ones grieving during unprecedented times. And our vision was to create a memorial garden as a tribute to the thousands of Scots who have lost their lives to covid. Just days after the campaign launched, Glasgow City Council offered us a site in the grounds of the stunning Pollok Country Park with the project gaining widespread support. A public fund has so far raised more than £42,000 towards the project.
Died: December 23, 2020. TOM Laurie OBE, who has died aged 82, was a quantity surveyor who helped transform Scotland’s cultural landscape both physically and creatively. He played an integral part in the founding of Cumbernauld Theatre, and was key to the setting up of WASPS Studios at a time when affordable studio provision for artists was hard to find. He was Chair of the Traverse Theatre during one of Edinburgh’s new-writing theatre’s golden periods, and brought artistic life to every project he was involved in. One of Laurie’s finest achievements was in the development and subsequent transformation of Glasgow’s Merchant City. Setting up office in the city’s old fish market that would soon become the Briggait Centre, and sharing a space with trade union-founded arts festival, Mayfest, he would map out plans that would transform a once-derelict inner city area into a vibrant hive of activity.
