The Original Bicycle Festival

The Original Bicycle Festival took place across Dumfries and Galloway from May 12 to May 24 2009. A range of cycling and cycling themed events formed the programme of the Festival. The Original Bicycle Festival was so called as it was the first Festival of its kind in the UK, and it also paid homage to Kirkpatrick Macmillan and the first pedal bicycle, invented at Keir Mill near Thornhill in 1839/1840.

Festival Programme Planning and Development Post

The Festival Programme Planning and Development Post aims to support the Festival Programme Planning Group in the development and co-ordination of future programmes, finding new venues and growing audience numbers.

Rural Ramblings 25: Autumn reflections

9 Oct 2009
Autumnal leaves

By Patrick Vickery

The Loopallu Music Festival in Ullapool, the ‘Little Fest in the West', heralds the beginning of Autumn for me: the nights are drawing in, there's a nip in the air and my woolly hat has re-engaged with my head during the receding daylight hours.

It was a good summer, 2009: Stuart Golabek re-emerged as a force to be reckoned with in Scottish football, we had an excellent barbeque at Sheila and the Master Mariner's abode by Invergordon, a Graduation Ceremony in Aberdeen and an atmospheric Inverness v Ross County derby match.

Kirky Canal

Starting life as a small open day in 2000 the festival has developed into the largest Canal based event in Scotland attracting over 25,000 people and significant levels of income into the local economy. The festival is a celebration of the heritage and regeneration of Kirkintilloch and surrounding areas linked by the Forth and Clyde Canal.
