Art and memory

Walking, swimming and dancing, along with a glass of red wine each day will help to stave off dementia says Professor June Andrews.

She was speaking at the opening of the exhibition "The force and Form of Memory" tonight in the Smith museum and Art gallery, Stirling.

Organised by the Compass gallery in Glasgow, it showed the work of 72 artists who were asked to explore the theme of memory.
