What fantastic coverage of a great day. Thank you Bernews. As my beloved Grandad (Dundee) once told me… “we Scots have two things in common; the first is that we all come from one of the most beautiful countries in the World (the other clearly being Bermuda) and the second is that we all have an undying resolve never to return there”. Thank you Caledonian Society and all performers, thank you. My Grandad’s great grandson now has a meaningful appreciation of what it means to be Scottish. Next up… freezing our arse’s off watching a Rugby game at Murrayfield.
