Remember to Vote on Nov. 4!


Understanding Recent Scottish Events



A large group of MetroWest members and friends gathered on October 16 to hear retired teacher, Terry Ruskins discuss the history behind recent events happening in Scotland.  He discussed the clan conflicts going back to ancient times as well as more recent events within the UK, and Scottish (as well as Irish and Welsh) representation in Parliament. A number of these factors came together to prompt the recent Scottish vote on independence. We also had a couple visitors at the meeting who had recently returned from a visit to Scotland, and they shared a few of their experiences.  Terry leads tours to Scotland from time to time, and he had information on the next tour for anyone interested.
