How to get to MacArts
For those who are new to the venue, visiting for the first time or just need a wee refresher, here are some of the ways to get to MacArts.
Whilst we highlight train, bus and taxi services we are not in any way affiliated with them.
One of our favourite stories from Young Dunc is when he was sitting on John Lennon‘s knee on a tractor out at Drygrange farm just a stones throw from the current MacArts.
It was lovely to have a visit from “Young Dunc” today. For those of you who don’t know Dunc is the son of Duncan Mckinnon who provided the inspiration for the founding of Mac Arts. For anyone interested in a bit of music history check out our website pages on Duncan
