province.
There will be more on this later as plans are confirmed.

"The Call of The Scot"
(From the Gaelic)
Author unknown
There came an ancient man and slow-
Who piped his way along our street-
How could the neighbours children know-
That to Her ears was passing sweet?
With smiles they spoke the ragged kilt-
And jeered the pipes, in mirthful file-
But, strangly moved, She heard the lilt-
That rallied Carrick and Argyll.
A stroller, walking in the street-
Half hearted, weary, out of place-
But his old measure stirred Her feet-
My baby with the Gaelic face.
She squared her shoulders, as she stood-
To watch the piper 'round the turn-
Nor dreamed what beat within her blood-
Was Robert Bruce, at Bannochburn!
The first Steward to become King of Scotland was involved in the
wars of Robert de Bruce and supported his efforts. He married Robert's
daughter and later their son became the first Stewart King.
Bannochburn has gone down in history and so have these immortal words.
"... for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself. .......
