Last night saw more than 150 people enjoy the latest mini-ceilidh at the Lochaber Homecoming Hub. It was a truly multi-national affair with visitors from as far afield as Namibia, New Zealand and Canada, who were entertained by dancers from the Royal Scottish Country Dancing Society. Here's what they thought :
"Wonderful" (Namibia)
"Excellent" (Wolverhampton)
"Really enjoyed the show" (South Africa)
"Greeting from Germany, we enjoyed the show"
"Very nice show and beautiful children, full of talent. It's a pleasure for a teacher to see that!!! (France)
"Hallo from Germany. Thank you for the invitation to this typical Scottish evening, it's nice to be here!
"Hello from Middlesbrough - we really enjoyed the evening"
"Greetings from Canada. Thanks for the music and dance".
"Kiaora from New Zealand"
"What great dancing - it's been brill" Ben aged around 8yrs
"Fantastic evening, first time my boys have been to a ceilidh!! They loved it".
"Very interesting and loved the dancing".
"Some lovely dancing! A lovely surprise on our holiday! (Lancashire)
"We enjoyed being introduced to the Scottish traditions! Thanks a lot" (Germany)
"We loved the presestations; it was a wonderful surprise and joy to be here and to be part of it". (Brazil).
The RSCDS Dancers also added a few comments:
"Thoroughly enjoyed taking part. A really fun evening".
"Excellent idea. Visitors seemed to enjoy it a lot and were even willing to dance with us".
"What wonderful hospitality and a friendly welcome, many thanks"
....and as always there was a good few unintentionally humourous comments
One couple (think they were Italian) said; "We have loved all parts of the night - but we still do not know who's birthday it was".
and, from a very excited German family:
"We have won a Tommy Wynne Haggis.......it will drive with us for next 2 weeks, as a special passenger......then we will present it to our 80 year old father on our return to Germany."
