Kirkin’ of the Council
I had great pleasure recently taking part in the Kirkin’ of the Council.
This annual procession and service recognises the hard work and dedication our elected members provide to local communities.
As always the pipe band and pomp and ceremony are well received by visitors and locals alike and adds to the colour of our area.
