WINTERFEST!

As promised in our first post here are some pics of Winterfest - the festival currently running in the main square until January...

The entrance next to the cenotaph - with the Sir Walter Scott monument in the background..

Electric Reindeer..

Katy, Margaret & Carly - about to rip up the ice!..

Cruising around the Scott monument..

Looking towards the tree with the cenotaph and the council chambers behind..

Carly - pretty happy with her new-found skating ability..

Trying to keep up with Katy..

November 30th is St Andrew's Day - Scotlands national day (although Burn's Night is apparently more widely observed). Nevertheless, the 30th is always a party day and it was no exception at Winterfest. This is the stage at the Winterfest Shindig!..

A little vid to give you an insight into the atmosphere of a Scottish Shindig!..

Of course a Shindig is not complete without some pipes - and a kilt wearing band!..

John Graham pondering in the the light of the Saltire/St Andrew's Cross/Scottish Flag!..

Coming up next post - our first road trip! Stay tuned coz it'll be up shortly...
