Your mission....
... should you happen to live in Scotland (anyone? anyone?) is to visit the below-mentioned attraction (featured in an article entitled Top 10 eccentric British days out in today's Guardian) and review it for Entertainment / Economy purposes:
Sharmanka
Mechanically minded Russian sculptor Eduard Bersudsky has set about establishing a cast of clanking and spinning contraptions at Glasgow's Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre: a darkened room, stuffed to bursting with performing machines that meld Russian and Scottish folklore with an understated social and political commentary, all to the accompaniment of an eclectic musical soundtrack. It is as unusual as it is unnerving, a mysterious toymaker's midnight workshop. This is the unpredictable stuff of dreams, and not necessarily nice ones, the sort that keep you clutching the sheets, wide eyed, nervous of what sleep might bring.
14 King St (Second Floor), Glasgow, G1 5HD. Tel: +44 (0)141 5527080
I eagerly await the results.

well, I've looked at their website, and it looks really cool and certainly something I would go and see - were it not hundreds of miles away in Bonny Scotland. I don't go to Scotland very much - but when I do I will certainly visit 'Sharmanka' which by the way is the Russian word for 'barrel organ'!!!
