Here's some memories of the the warm summer nights at the Pavilion of Scotland to get you through this cold snap.

Georgie was a proud supporter and valuable volunteer to our Pavilion. Our condolences to her family.

There's also mention of being one of our long-time volunteers. Condolences to Isabella's family from your friends at the Pavilion of Scotland.

Check out this wonderful event from our friends at the St Andrew's Society...

Congratulations Bombers! Way to make us proud!

Lol... one take on where Highland dress came from...

The Pavilion of Scotland acknowledges our friends in the Indigenous community and show our respect in remembering them on Orange Shirt Day.

Gotta say, I love this story. So glad that Glasgow is in the lead of establishing a tartan to include the Muslim community of Scotland. My grandfather Charlie ...Angus worked in Glasgow at a time of brutal religious sectarianism. He hated the divisions. I was taught by the Protestant and Catholic side of my Scottish family of the values of inclusiveness. It guides me. Then let us pray that come it may, (As come it will for a' that,) That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth, That Man to Man, the world o'er, Shall brothers (and sisters) be for a' that.

With the World Pipe Band Championships done, now to focus on the World Highland Dance Championships at Cowal this weekend. Best of luck to all the Manitoba dancers that will be competing in the qualifying rounds tomorrow!

If you liked what you saw & heard at this year's Pavilion, remember that the various Highland Dance schools and Pipe Bands are now accepting registration for the fall.

Here's an interesting fact about the flag of Scotland...

That's a wrap! 7 nights, 21 shows, lots of fun! Thank you to all our guests, volunteers, performers & supporters. See you next year! #pavilionofscots #Folklorama50 ... #enasuttonhighlanddancers #flyinghaggis_showband See more
