News from David Shaw of extra excitement for those attending the Nairn SHow  on 28th April .....
 "We have a very special entertainment for you. At 1330 massed pipe bands will parade down Viewfield Road (that is the access lane to the Community Centre) on their way to the Links. Nothing is too much trouble for Highland Rock Garden Club!"

Looking at the photo from last year, shown earlier on this page, it seems the plant is even better this year.  8)
