A Formal activity

[Cavebear58]

During my August visit to Scotland I'd like to attend some kind of Formal affair if possible. I like the idea of a collegial gathering where Gentlemen and Ladies attend a ???? - perhaps some kind of military or community affair

Ideas?

Check out the Burns Anniversary events at: http://www.homecomingscotland2009.com

Out of all these in August, I expect you'll find one with a formal dinner (you could even try organising one!)
