St Andrew Square Gardens

‘Is St Andrew Square a park or an event space?’ tweeted @speybaysoul this morning. ‘May as well just pave it.’  

As she suggests, the available evidence now clearly points to St Andrew Square being an event space, on this occasion themed around the Ryder Cup from 23–28 September. 

By our estimate, this will be at least the ninth major project hosted here so far this year.

Bruce Munro’s ‘Field of Light’ installation will be turned on at 5.00pm in St Andrew Square this evening.

Some 9,000 or 9,500 swaying glass balls on illuminated stalks – all of which change colour and promise visitors a free ‘immersive experience’ – will remain in place until 27 or 28 April. (Official sources differ.)
