Happy St Andrew’s Day
Happy St Andrews Day to all our readers in or from Scotland. Here are some idea on how to celebrate on the 30th.
Got kids stuck at home because of the snow? Here’s a link to some good activities
Visit the eponymous town, now famous for being the place Price William and Kate Middleton fell in love. Make sure you visit Janetta’s for an ice cream.
See the Honours of Scotland. Edinburgh Castle houses the Scottish Crown Jewels and from 27th-30th November you can visit for free.
Learn a new Scottish word and fit it into as many sentences as you can on Tuesday. Dreich (meaning damp and dismal weather) is probably the most appropriate one
Search You Tube for Scottish music and have your own ceilidh at home.
A girl wishing to marry could: Throw a shoe at a door. If the toe of the shoe pointed in the direction of the exit, then she would marry and leave her parents’ house within a year.
For those looking for love: Peel a whole apple without breaking the peel and throw the peel over the shoulder. If the peel formed a letter of the alphabet, then this suggested the name of the future groom.
Plan a trip to Greece and or Russia (Andrew is patron saint there to.)
