Scottish Day was held in Haapsalu. While at lunchtime we played bowling on the ice, where among others the team from the city of Haapsalu and that of the British embassy competed, in the evening the party began, where we could get to know Scottish music, national dishes and dances.
The melting weather that prevailed in the middle of the week brought a thin layer of water to the thick ice of Väike Viigi, but the weather still took the legs out from under the stomach, brought below zero degrees again, and on Saturday the puddles they were frozen.
“The most important thing in a curling rink is the presence of ice. Today we have more or less good ice. It has been very different over the years, and since we do this drawing on ice, it depends a lot on nature,” he said bowling alley master Peep Aedviir.
It is an annual tradition that the ice bowling competition is opened by a bowling duel between the city of Haapsalu and the British Embassy before the start of the national tournament. If last year the embassy showed a place in Haapsalu, this year the city’s team was left behind.
“Last year we won here, but as a diplomat I think it wasn’t so diplomatic to win against the mayor’s team. Thank God we lost this year. I think it was a little more diplomatic,” Ross said, the British ambassador to Estonia.Allen.
At seven in the evening, a Scottish party began in the clubhouse of Haapsalu Kaluri, which included music, national dishes and keili dancing.
An introduction day to Scottish culture has been held in Haapsalu for ten years.
