It’s summer in Glasgow, with the schools off and the Fair Fortnight underway.
It means the city’s a little quieter than usual, but that doesn’t mean that there’s not plenty on.

5. Bard in the Botanics
Remarkably there are still tickets left for this evening's Bard in the Botanics production of 'Romeo & Juliet'. The much-loved Shakespeare play will be performed in the open air at Glasgow's lush Bontanic Gardens. Bring your own seat, a picnic, midge repellant, and pray the weather stays dry for the star-crossed lovers. Tickets are priced from £15. | Contributed
