Striding March!

Saturday 20th June saw the Cairnhead Carnival and performance of the new piece of work by Harpist Wendy Stewart. The parade started at the Byre and moved down the glen to the picnic area and lochan. Musicians and choir played and sang as the children and adults, led by Sun Queen and Storm King, walked down the glen.
