17th of May parade

Del

Wednesday 17th May, 2006 - Bergen

The Society took part in the 17th of May parade in Bergen for the first time in fittingly dreich weather. Before the parade set off, the Society Chairman and members of the Bergen Scottish Pipeband were interview by NRK, with the pictures being broadcast nationwide as part of the main NRK programme for the 17th of May. The Bergen Scottish tartan was proudly on display and the pipeband proudly displayed its Bergen roots by playing Nystemten, the Bergen anthem. More than 20 members of the Society took part in the parade, and the Bergen Scottish Pipeband entertained the crowds with Nystemten and a selection of traditional Scots airs.
