Over 100 people had fun tasting traditional Scottish specialities, dancing and listening to bagpipes. Some were even brave enough to attempt playing them. Ambassador David Slinn was presented with honorary membership of the UK Friendship Society – No. 007. St. Andrew’s Day, Scotland’s National Day, is celebrated around the world on 30 November.
