Dancers from the Royal New Zealand Ballet discuss the challenges of touring across the world as their production of Giselle comes to Edinburgh.

Our BBC Radio Scotland Poet in Residence, Rachel McCrum, shares the joys of sound poetry with us as she delivers another of her commissions and marks the re-opening of the newly-renovated Scottish Poetry Library.

Arthur Melville was one of the one of the finest British watercolour painters of the Victorian - and indeed any - era. Edi Stark discovers his visions of Cairo, Baghdad, Andalucia and Venice in a striking new exhibition showing in Edinburgh.
