The 2008 weekend
Scott's Selkirk is over for another year
We were incredibly lucky with the weather, and had a wonderful weekend
On behalf of the Scott's Selkirk committeee I would like to thank everyone who helped in any way towards the success of Scott's Selkirk last weekend.
It is a massive event to organise, and would not be possible without the support of all the volunteers - the ladies who man the shop, mend costumes, and make the mountains of sandwiches, the Hammermen who erect and dismantle most of the equipment, all the performers, the bus drivers, Keith who minds the bins, the business sponsors, the helpers at Meg Dods, the Community Service team - the list is endless.
My personal thanks go to all the incredibly hard working committee members, Caroline Adam who almost single handedly organised the entertainment, The County Hotel, Big Sky Studios, Gordon Webster, Dougie Squance, Rob Gray, Bordersprint, Morris Manson, Prov. Jim Henderson, and of course, John Nichol.
Many thanks to you all, see you next year I hope.

Welcome to Scott's Selkirk 2008
Welcome to Scott's Selkirk 2008!
The dates this year are Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December
Plans are well under way, with many old favourites returning and several new additions for this year's event.
Our famous Ghost Walk starts proceedings off on the Thursday evening.
Friday evening - come and dance at the Ceilidh at the Victoria Hall, and be sure to get your tickets for the terrific Saturday Night Grand Concert!
We are particularly pleased, following their successes last year, that the Sheriff Court is opening on both days, and the Borders Youth Theatre will again be performing in The Dry Bar.
This year there are events runnning both days in Selkirk Library - including architectural tours of the Old Jail Centre, performances by Tweed Theatre, and children's activities.
Both days begin with a Costume Cavalcade, starting from Mungo Park on Saturday, and Selkirk Parish Church on Sunday.
St Joseph's Primary School is hosting a craft fayre and coffee morning, with traditional children's games on the Saturday.
The County Hotel is again very generously hosting literary events on the Saturday and family orientated performances on the Sunday.
The County Pend will again be transformed into the Port of Leith - bustling with stalls and activity, and with musical and dance performances.
Halliwells Museum is again open on the Saturday, hosting children's activities, and the ever popular court cases will be performed each day in Walter Scott's Courtroom.
There will be a craft exhibition in Selkirk Parish Church and a Quilting Exhibition in the Lesser Victoria Hall.
Be sure to attend the Rotary Christmas Charities Bazaar in the Victoria Hall on the Saturday.
The town's own Flute Band, Silver Band, and Pipe Band will be on hand, providing their own wonderful entertainment.
The Selkirk Rhinos will re-enact the Carterhaugh Ba' game at the Bog Park on Sunday - come and watch the fun
Remember to pop in to Ye Olde Tea Shoppe at the Catholic Church.
Meg Dods' kitchen at the Hermitage will be the focus for food and traditional entertainment.
The High Street and Market Place will be transformed into a Georgian christmas market, with stalls and fantastic street entertainment, including, of course, our very own French Prisoners.
