St Andrew's Day: Party Like it's 60 AD
Oh, St Andrew's Day. Every year it's the same – you creep up on us with a surprise day off work and we're left twiddling our thumbs because we forgot to think of anything to do. Well, not this year, St Andrew's Day. We've got plans – hunners of them.
First up, get stuck into this week's pre-St Andy's events, including Glasgow's torchlight procession and a St Andrew's Day anti-racism rally on Glasgow Green. You can also take advantage of free entry to heaps of Historic Scotland sites across the country for one day only.

If you'd rather be heading to the cloob than a castle, why not spend Wednesday revelling in a midweek hangover after partying to Midland at Sub Club or Sneaky Pete's Soul Jam sweatbox? Might as well, eh?
Karla Black + Kishio Suga
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, Until 19 Feb
Karla Black and Kishio Suga share in common their knack for taking ordinary everyday materials and using them to create beautifully complex sculptural works which respond to specific spaces. Their exhibition, A New Order at Modern One combines their work for the first time – it opened in late October, catch it while you can. Photo: Gautier Deblonde

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
The Lyceum, Edinburgh, 27 Nov-31 Dec, 2pm & 7pm, prices vary
What’s winter without toothy cats, magic mushrooms and top-hatted eccentrics? NOTHING, that’s what. Luckily, the Lyceum’s done us all a solid and is hosting a run of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderlandthroughout the festive season. Why not offer to treat a pal’s little one? Wham bam, you’ve got an excuse to have yourself a magically childish time. Image: Aly Wight

Tony Oursler: Influence Machine
George Square Gardens, Edinburgh, 23-26 Nov, 7pm
Fancy something a little different? How about an 'immersive outdoor sculptural experience'? It's already been met with critical acclaim, and if you're interested in camera obscura, Victorian light shows and holographic art, this will utterly chill your bones. In a good way, of course.

Beatrice Catanzaro
MILK Cafe, Glasgow, 28 Nov, 6.30pm
Artist Beatrice Catanzaro is a very interesting person. Along with an activist and a cultural manager, she founded Bait al Karama, a Women’s Centre and Cookery School in the city of Nablus, West Bank. She’s visiting MILK for one night only this month to ‘share her understanding of food as cultural means for political resistance’ – sounds like just what the doctor ordered, if you ask us.
