As world leaders gather in Glasgow at that last chance saloon for our planet (how many times is that now?), climate change is once more the talk of the town. But it's not all about politicians being steered towards doing something positive for the environment over the next fortnight: COP26 is the focus for a whole bunch of one-off events and mini-festivals as the cultural community has its say. Here is a mere selection of top goings-on across Scotland
