DOUGIE MacLean is to perform at a Scottish landmark in a St Andrew's Day concert.
The November gig is part of CeilidhFest, a new month-long winter festival of traditional music and culture.
MacLean, whose 1977 hit Caledonia has become a Scottish standard, has been described as a national treasure.
Now the ex-Tannahill Weavers man will perform surrounded by art and cultural treasures at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum in Glasgow's west end.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to my concert on St Andrew's Night, 30th November, in the wonderful Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum.
"It will be great to do a wee concert in such a beautiful setting surrounded by all our famous treasures and I hope to see you all there."

MacLean's previous gigs have included venues all around the world, including Carnegie Hall in New York and London's Festival Theatre.
More than one billion people worldwide watched him in the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014 and famous fans include Paolo Nutini, Amy MacDonald and Ronan Keating.
In addition to MacLean, other headline acts performing at CeilidhFest include Hipsway and Phil Cunningham & Aly Bain. Rising neo-trad stars Project Smok and shanty band Kimber's Men are also on the line-up.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
