Newsletters for ‘Port Elizabeth’

Tartan Day Celebration

For the second year running, Port Elizabeth Scottish Association organised a Tartan Day celebration at 6th Avenue Shopping Centre, Walmer on Saturday 3 July. Displays of Highland Dancing were given by dancers from the O’Leary Studio of Celtic Dance and from Fiona Godfrey’s Dancing Studio. The ever popular Algoa Bell’s ‘Extra Special’ Caledonian Pipe Band were a great hit marching through the Centre, to the delight of both tenants and shoppers. As far as we are aware PE Scottish Association is the only Society who holds a Tartan Day in Southern Africa.
