At eleven o\u2019clock was the blessing of the tartan. Followed by the parade of tartan. We were joined by Nancy Wallace and Jim Wagner as we marched around the parade field.<\/p>\n
We were delighted to meet two retired nurses, Mary Wallace and Julie Tenbusch who own Wallace Scones. These ladies have the best scones I have ever tasted. If you are interested in trying these delicious scones, you can contact them at wallacescones@hotmail.com<\/a>.\u00a0 You won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n The games hosted a tug o\u2019 war, Highland dancing competition, heavy athletics, wee bairns area, whisky tasting, Highland Tea, and shortbread contest.<\/p>\n Our thanks to all that came out and enjoy the weekend with us.
