This weekend brought to you by The New Scotland Scottish Country Dance Society...

Sorry about the delay in this post - I didn't actually take any pictures (I know, I know), so I had to wait to get a hold of some on Facebook. First of all, the order of events:

We headed out to Braemar on Friday evening into a driving rain, and stopped along the way for dinner (also in the driving rain, or, rather, sheltered in a bus stop outside of the fish and chips store):

Upon arrival, there was a splendid coffee break awaiting us, prepared by our Kitchen Goddess, Linda:

(This would be why she was the Kitchen Goddess. She prepared food for fifty, for two and a half days at five to six meals or organized snacks a day)

And then, to the ceilidh, with lots of dancing and...sketchy (?) games:

This isn't really as bad as it looks. Really. It was kind of like "statues", but the positions you froze in in the middle of the dance were prescribed.

This one involved a polka and landing on a piece of paper (with your partner) when the music stopped.

And the limbo!

Saturday was filled with more food, dancing, kitchen duty, waiting for team games...

and team games (involving cold and wet walks in the woods):

And then more Sunday (the following pictures have nothing to do with Sunday, they're just shots of Bramear). If I can get a hold of more pictures of dancing, costume contest and hanging out, I'll post them!
