Saint Andrew.

Norman McCormick · 30th November 2008, 03:57 PM

Hi All,
Greetings to everybody from Scotland on this Saint Andrews Day, especially those from Greece and Russia for whom Andrew is also a Patron Saint.
Regards,
Norman.

P.S. Notice the unusual 'Falchion' type sword being held aloft in the background.

Hmmm... Interesting. And I thought San Andres was a strictly Spanish patron saint.

Next thing, someone will tell me that others are swearing by Saint George, or even playing the Galician-Asturian Bag Pipes. Egad!

thanx, i like the traditional edged weapon dance to the pipes in linky4, wonder if that's an event in the highland games. the others are a bit more celtic tho (galician variety)

Hi,
Re Linky 4,Wayne, I see you've found rare film of the the MacCookery Clan from Glen Lapen getting ready for a Saturday night out in Glasgow, absolutely not for the faint hearted.
Regards,
Norman.
