THE Walking Theatre Company performed their wicked adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, ‘Macbeth the Red’ to a sell-out crowd at Geilston Garden in Cardross recently.
The evening - Saturday, June 1 - was full of hilarity with the audience being led on an adventure only to find out they were soldiers during a battle in the Walled Garden.
Some lucky members of the audience even landed speaking parts as they became the Duke of Argyll or Banjo!

“We’d like to express thanks to the Friends of Geilston for their help in making it such successful event.”
Geilston Garden also hosted an open day on Sunday, June 9, while later in the summer there’s a herb walk and herbal workshop at the garden on September 21.
