Welcome to your Full Scottish, live from the The Barony Centre in West Kilbride.
Programme starts at 12:30 PM on Sunday 14th August 2016
Full Scottish goes all cultural this week, with a focus on the creative economy, design, innovation and economic regeneration.
Michelle Rodger, Richard Walker and the Full Scottish crew are off to a new venue in West Kilbride for the day. The Barony Centre is home to Craft Town Scotland, a community led initiative and registered charity.
