The Edinburgh Festival is more of a cultural event with plays, singing, and dancing in both traditional and contemporary styles. We hope to visit Linlithgow Castle, Stirling Castle, Perth, and St. Andrews. In addition, we hope to spend time in Leith - the place where Queen Mary made her return to Scotland from France as a young widow, to resume her throne. It is, of course, a bustling, important part of Edinburgh now. But, it still holds its old world charm with some interesting architecture.
Prices based on departure from other cities are available upon re- quest.
Upon the 11th day of September, the guild folk of Royal Saint Andrews did journey to the beau- tiful grounds of Graeser Winery new Calistoga, California, to celebrate a day of revels and competitions on the athletic fields in honor of Her Royal Majesty the Queen. For these were the annual Natal Day festivities for the Queen. It is upon green grass in an old orchard, with ancient buildings near at hand that house the wine and the tasting room. The Royal Feast began at noon, with an abundance of picnic food brought for sharing by the Guild Folk. After the Feast, there was a Well Turned Ankle contest, to find the Maid of the Muses.
