What a
perfect ambiance for a show.
Held at the mansion of Prestonfield, the
guests settle down in anticipation.
Dinner is served before
the show. The portions of the three course meal may look small, but its filling
and I couldn’t do justice to it.
The
show starts with Cameron Goodall explaining (with glee and delight) what Haggis
is.
This is followed by a dram of malt whisky from Prestonfield’s famous
collection. The three Scotish tenors were introduced with a song and dance
sequence.
There is a
scene of Glencoe and the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion followed by the sword dance.
A glimpse of this can be seen in the 22 minute video (the
best I could capture from where I was sitting) I liked the solo instrumentals
and also the singing by Brigid Mhairi.
On the whole an enjoyable evening.
Incidentally I spotted Cameron Goodall the
next day at the Military Tattoo helping one of the Bagpipers put on his
shoulder straps properly.

that's another great video Joe... and I am again frustrated that I did not 'click' quick enough that you were so close by; Prestonfield is literally only two or three streets away from father's place! So glad you enjoyed your visit here. YAM xx
