Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to make this year's event a resounding success.

I hope all our visitors enjoyed the weekend and will come again next year.

In the meantime,  why not visit Selkirk another time and see what we all have to offer!

Next year,  we will attempt to have the programme printed a little earlier,  but the reason for the last minute publication is to try to limit the mistakes which would appear because of the inevitable last minute unavoidable changes in times, locations, and even performers.

Scott's Selkirk 2007 planning is well and truly underway.  The dates this year are Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd December.

Many thanks to everyone who helped at the coffee morning this Saturday. 

Tickets  for the Friday Night Ceilidh,  and Saturday Night Concert are now on sale at The Southern Reporter office.

• The weekend will again commence on the Friday evening with the very popular Ceilidh in the Victora Hall - dancing to the music of Neil Hardie and his ceilidh band.
• As an alternative,  there will be a Ghost Walk available - details to follow - our thanks to the Museum Services
• The line up for the Saturday night concert is almost complete - full details shortly.
• On the Saturday and Sunday there will many well loved faces from past years performing on the streets, in Meg Dodds' Kitchen,  and Walter Scott's Courthouse.
• There will again be marvellous literary events in the County Hotel, and outside in the County Pend, a flavour of the continent in our "Ostend and Beyond" bustling market. As you enter through into the pend you will transported to the Port of Leith - there will be stalls and entertainment with a nautical and continental flavour - from the fabulous Podlies singing their sea shanties to clog dancing,  pirate antics and much more.
• There will be market stalls, torchlight procession, flower festival at the Parish Church, the ever popular French Prisoners, and  the terrific Saturday Night Concert.
• Sunday morning is celebrated as usual by local church services, and of course The Ba' Game will be on the at Bog Park.
• And, (weather permitting).  the weekend will finish off with the wonderful Belmont Fireworks Display.

Many thanks to everyone who helped in so many ways this year

Following a very successful Friday Night Ceilidh all went as planned on Saturday, with all performances being well attended and supported.

The day was rounded off by a grand concert in the Victoria Hall - many thanks to all the great performers - which culminated in dancing to the wonderful Borders Boogie Band.

Despite the truly atrocious weather on the Sunday the event went ahead (not quite as planned!) with stalls being relocated indoors to the warmth in Meg Dods' Kitchen, The Scott's Selkirk Shop,  Selkirk Parish Church Hall, "The Saddlers",  and The Masonic Lodge. 
The atmosphere in these locations was remarkable.  Our thanks must go to all who helped with the considerable work involved in physically moving all the stalls, the Venues which found themselves full of stalls, and to the stallholders whose good natured acceptance of the change of venues went such along way to making it a very enjoyable day!

Sadly the Carriage Rides, Fireworks and Ba' Game had to be abandoned to everyone's disappointment, but they will be back next year as good as new!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas,  and Happy New Year, 
and we look forward to welcoming you all back next year to Scott's Selkirk 2007!
