Event Details
Jack Docherty is Chief Commissioner Cameron Miekelson – your Chief, our Chief, The People’s Chief! As seen on BBC Scotland’s Scot Squad and The Chief, this national hero will be bringing his wit and wisdom (and let’s be honest, his still simmering good-looks) to a theatre near you.
You may have seen The Chief’s ‘Apology sketch’ – a viral sensation, racking up more than 80 million views – well now’s your chance to see The Chief live in his critically acclaimed, sell-out show, No Apologies. The show will feature your favourite sketches from Scot Squad and lots of hilarious new jokes as The Chief dissects the state of the nation, from politics to policing, football to families, bams to biscuits.
The Chief will also read excerpts from his forthcoming best-selling memoir, No Apologies, a book that tells his unique personal story of how a white, middle-class, public school educated boy from Edinburgh somehow overcame all the odds to become the Chief Commissioner of The Scottish Police Force.
This is sure to be the theatrical event of this, or any other, year. Don’t miss out!
Tickets https://liveargyll.co.uk/event/jack-docherty-in-the-chief-no-apologies-2/ (No-one under the age of 14 will be admitted. Under 16s will only be admitted if attending with a suitable adult.)

Please join us on Thursday 4 June 2026 for a special performance by former resident and Cove Park Associate Anna McLuckie. Anna, accompanied by a double bassist, will share songs and stories from her debut album, ‘The Little Winters’.
Anna McLuckie is a Scottish singer, songwriter and Clàrsach player. Raised on classical and traditional music, Anna’s writing draws on her musical beginnings and also takes influence from her love of popular music and more experimental sounds. Her music sits in a world of contemporary folklore; her songs layered with interweaving harmonies, story led lyricism and free form structures. Based in London, she has performed in places around the world from Rockwood Music Hall NYC, to a concert series in Russia, to house shows and folk sessions. She’s appeared at festivals across the UK and supported the likes of Jake Xerxes Fussell, Rozi Plain and Richard Hawley.
In 2024 Anna took part in the Making Tracks Residency at Cove Park and toured the UK with renowned global roots musicians. She is currently being mentored by English Folk Expo (Soundroots UK) and Kick Arts UK. Her first full length album ‘The Little Winters’ is set to release in 2026.
This is a 90-minute performance with general admission seating. Doors open at 6:30pm.

Join us for a guided botanical recording day exploring the diverse plant life of Cove Park.
This session will be led by botanist Michael Philip Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland Vice county recorder for Lanarkshire, alongside a small group of experienced volunteer recorders. Together, they will guide participants in surveying the site’s wild flora and building a detailed species list as part of a wider project documenting plant life across Dunbartonshire.
Working in small groups, we’ll explore different areas of the site, learning how to identify plants and record observations. This is a hands-on, informal opportunity to develop plant ID skills, contribute to a meaningful biodiversity record, and deepen your understanding of the landscape.
The data collected will help create a baseline for monitoring ecological change and may support future conservation, planning, and land management decisions.
The day will run from approximately 10am–3:30pm. We’ll pause for a short lunch break (soup provided), before continuing in the afternoon.
Who is it for?
Anyone with an interest in plants and nature — no prior experience is necessary. Volunteers and participants should be comfortable spending time outdoors and walking across varied terrain.
Practical info: Wear suitable outdoor clothing and sturdy footwear
Bring water and anything else you may need for a day outside
Lunch of soup, bread and cheese will be provided – please indicate any dietary requirements when booking

Event Details
Swim in Loch Lomond and then enjoy a MTB spin and mixed terrain run round Balloch Country Park. There are 3 options to choose from ‘The Wee Beastie’, ‘The Bikeless Beastie’ and the main event ‘The Beastie’:
The Beastie comprises a 750m swim in the Loch, 17k off road cycle (three big laps) and 5k run (two laps), finishing in front of the castle, sounds a lot easier than reality and a challenge for even the most experienced of triathletes.
The Wee Beastie a 400m swim in the Loch, 9k off road cycle (two smaller laps) and a 3km run (one lap). A proper wee toughie and a great way to start of before taking on the full Beastie another time, still a great achievement and not to be taken lightly.
The Bikeless Beastie Aquathon a 750m swim and 5k run (two laps), this year it is the Scottish Aquathon Championship.

A wonderful opportunity to enjoy a good day out in the garden.
There is retail therapy with a variety of local craft products – sewn, felted and knitted goods to soaps, ceramics and glassware to cards and jewellery. Enjoy seeing the goods and chatting with their makers.
No Geilston Garden event is complete without the Cake stall, always a great range of homemade cake and a nice hot or cold drink.
However the star of the day is always the Garden which is looking so good, thanks to the hard work and skill of the gardeners and volunteers.
