Here's a piece from Edd McCracken of the Herald, reporting from Forres (birthplace of Macbeth, since you ask). Moray Council has, like Somerset, proposed cutting its arts and culture budget by 100%.
As McCracken says: "This would mean the end of the £112,000 budget given to arts development, the removal of £48,000 given to village halls and arts organisations, and the demise of a cultural development service worth £17,000."
