Title: Great Feil Maree: 2007 Part 1
Post by: Highlander on September 01, 2007, 21:36:14 PM
I had the pleasure of being involved in the Great Feil Maree 2007 in Dingwall today. This was predominately a Charity Event, reviving the major market event in Ross-shire circa 1890, and raising lots of money for local charities.

Here are some pics of the varied programme throughout the day.

There were a goodly number of vintage cars on show which I will post separately and a "special" event which you will have to wait for.
