and your group or individual contribution is appropriate,
Over the
past few years
in
Hamilton, tartan day is held celebrating tartan and
Scottish culture. Now it is generally organised by David McLachlan of the
Clan MacLachlan Society supported by the Cambridge & Districts Pipe Band
and Mitchell Kilt Hire and other folk who contribute their skills. In
2010 the event incorporated a play based
on the battle at Culloden and the aftermath. For 2011 the play will
be based on the massacre at Glencoe. Items are provided by the Cambridge
and Districts Pipe Band and any other folk who wish to contribute an
item. Music, Burns story etc.
