William Walllace Day Celebration

[Mael Coluim]

Rabble,
Join the Fredericksburg Scottish Society in their celebration of William Wallace Day on Saturday, August 20 at Park Lane Tavern at 2:00 PM. The event is public. There will be a Tribute to William Wallace, Scotlland's greatest patriot with readings from the 15th century poem The Wallace by Bind Harry and a short talk on the Real William Wallace. We will be entertained by the Celtic band, AON. Be there!


Note: Park Lane Tavern is the former Fredericksburg Pub behind the Spotsylvania Towne Centre (mall) off exit 130B I-95.

Not surprisingly I won't be there - a bit far for me to travel. Just something of interest, however. Margaret, William Wallace's mother, is said to be buried under a thorn tree in the grounds of Dunfermline Abbey according to a plaque nearby.

Who likes haggis?

There will be complimentary haggis served on oat cakes as appetizers.
