Hats and high heels at Duart Castle

-

MULL and Tiree Federation will be joining in the celebratio­ns to mark the centenary of the Scottish Women’s Institutes (SWI) with a garden party at Duart Castle (by kind permission of Sir Lachlan Maclean).

Throughout 2017, a range of events and gatherings are being held to mark the organisati­on’s 100th birthday, including the SWI’s own version of Tea in The Park – tea parties which will take place in each federation area on Sunday July 2.

The organisati­on was formed in 1917 to bring women together, with a vision to welcome every woman in Scotland. The organisati­on has remained a constant in Scottish life ever since and is here to educate, to share, to campaign, to learn, to socialise, to build a community and, of course, to have fun. The centenary is a great chance to remind people what the SWI is about and what it has to offer modern women living in 21st century Scotland.
