Apparently this has been on here a few times before, but it must be that far doon the lists ah canny find it.
I was at this last year when I stayed in Aberdeen and it is a great day out - It was part of Mirza's first drunken tour of Scotland.
This year it involves a talk about Wallace, then a ceremony in Aberdeen on the Friday night, and a band playing in a pub nearby.
The saturday is a march through the town, behind the pipe band that goes out to Dunnottar castle for another wee ceremony. It is a good afternoons swally, followed by Gaberlunzie and another band in the Town Hall on the Saturday night (Which has a bar of course).
The hotel next door has accommodation available - they did have a bus party booked in but this has just been cancelled. Royal Hotel 01569 762 979 which is £25 per night B&B makes nae diff to the price if it's a single or a double. The hotel also has a nightclub and residents get free entry. If you phone up to book, mention the purpose of the trip.
There will be a mini bus running up from Stonhaven to Aberdeen on the Friday night if there is enough bums to put in the seats.
What better way to tune yer liver up for the Faroes the following weekend !

Talks too much |
Wallace Day evening event clashes with the EASTA Race Night. Could spend a couple of hours at the races then a dash up the road to catch the end of Gaberlunzie. About an hour from Dundee to Stonehaven? If past years are anything to go by there could be a big party just down the road in Gourdon. Sleep on the beach? Fast car and sober driver needed.

Aye, nae problem with me if you think that might be good 
La Bamba is OK, but can prepare myself for whatever might suit even better
So there is a band but nae singer

Ally and I will be there cos we've been feelin awfy left oot of things up here after all the action elsewhere in the country.
Unfortunately i think there will have to be a driver and since Ally drove last year I think that driver may be me  So I will wear my broken Magoo'd t-shirt which should ensure sobriety....
