I attended the launch of Highland 2007 in Inverness on Friday night. As we failed to win City of Culture we decided to do this instead. It started with Inverness Choir, then local band Blazing Fiddles (top ceilidh band and great guys), obligitary pipe band but with a difference as they were spread out on balconies facing the river. Oh and Jack MacConnel said something.
The highlight was to be the Firework show however it started raining just as it started so keeping the lens clear was a nightmare, especially as the wind was howling and I was right in the middle of the bridge (In the VIP section . I blagged my way next to Ken Mackenzie, the boss of the Scottish Co-op and his wife. They were sponsors of Highland 2007 and a very nice couple).
Anyway these are about the best of the bunch. I never stayed later for the street stuff which probably would have been a good idea but went home instead.
