Scots Cinemas Benefit from Make-over Hand-out

Six Scottish cinemas are among over 50 throughout the UK to receive funding to improve their facilities, including the installation of new sound systems, seating, air-conditioning and carpets, as well as improved access for wheelchairs.

It follows cash awards totalling almost three-quarters of a million pounds given out by the UK Film Council to small, independently-owned cinemas.

The Scots six are Talla Shomhairle (Sorley Maclean Memorial Hall), Isle of Skye, £39,434; DCA Cinema, Dundee, £8,000; Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow, £5,967; Pavilion Cinema, Galashiels, £4,000; The Picture House, Campbeltown, £9,153; and the Alhambra Cinemas, Gretna, £15,766.
