Scottish Game Fair

We were pleasantly surprised at how good the weather was while we were at Scone Palace this weekend for the Scottish Game Fair, especially when we had checked with BBC's weather forecast!  Apart from a few showers, it stayed warm and dry for the three days, there was so much to see that you needed all three days to take advantage of what was on offer!

Our stand was in the Craft Marquee in a corner and we had a surprisingly good view outside...my daughter, Mary and I took turns having a little walk-about when it was quiet.

There is a lot of different things happening through out the day with plenty to keep everybody happy even the kids. We were kept busy most of the time and there was a lot to see, with all the different craft stalls inside and trade stands outside.

Just in front of the marquee we got glimpse of the dancing sheep (three shows per day) as well as the ducks (for the dog & duck show held in the main arena).

There was also tutorials for those who like fishing (novices and advanced alike), archery, clay pigeons - we even tried our first Arbroath Smokie, delicious! 

We will definitely be going back next year, so don't worry if you've missed us this time.  Next weekend we'll be going to the Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Rally at Glamis Castle (Saturday & Sunday).  

Mary will also be in a lovely garden centre located in beautiful surroundings just outside Beauly on Sunday!
