dtaylor5632: Did you attend this meeting?
I did. Only for a couple of hours. There was a pipe band, some stalls and such. There were bigger concerts later, with bands like Shannon but I didn't see them.
To be honest, some bits were a bit cringeable (like the local council guys dressing like a pantomime cast of Brigadoon) but as it was the first time they'd done such a festival, and it's a small place, I'd be a bit cruel to judge a whole weekend just on that. On the whole I think it was a brave and worthy attempt (shame the idea of road signs to tell you how to get there wasn't thought of!).
PennBoy: was the village founded by Scotts who settled in Poland, SZKOTowo ???
Apparently. The german name is/was Skottau. Apparently it was granted to knights who rode with the Teutonic Order in the northern crusades.
