Remembrance day

I said there was nothing in November but I was so wrong. There is first of all Remembrance Day and all the church parades.. At the time Best in Show is taking place in, there were still many WW2 veterans and the Scouts and Guides paraded as well, bare knees, of course, even if it was a blizzard. One year at the Auld Kirk and the next at the Free Kirk. The fictional village of Cairndhu has only one kirk and it is a bit late to introduce another but there is the Plymouth Brethren. The Roman Catholic chapel is in one of the other villages as the Auld Kirk took over that building at the reformation. Some of it was vandalised by fanatics but they were stopped by local people before they had done too much damage. I suppose St Andrew's Day on the 30th suffered the same fate as the Covenanters eschewed any hint of Catholicism.
