HOUGHTON -- Mother daughter adventurers Karen and Andra Ziemnick will present "Welcome to Scotland" at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Mar. 26, in the community room at the Portage Lake District Library.
Their slide show presentation will take participants on an historical journey that includes travel to Edinburgh, the Isle of Skye, Inverness and Fort William in the Highlands, Loch Ness, castles and more. Participants will learn how the Great Plague of 1665 afflicted Scotland; hear tales from Culloden, Scotland’s most famous battlefield; and wonder about sightings of the Loch Ness monster.
Participants will enjoy sampling haggis, the national dish of Scotland, which will be served with neeps and tatties. Souvenirs, photos and books from Scotland will be on display; and anyone who can play the bagpipes is welcome to bring them and pipe a tune for the audience.
This program is for all ages. Everyone is invited to attend library events and presentations are free.
