Event Details

The Scots have their own music, dance, food, drink, and language. They live amongst wonderful scenery and live in interesting cities. Scotland has a Ferris wheel for canal boats, and they have a mythical serpent that attracts one million tourists a year (enriching Scotland's economy by $31,000,000).

This talk will be an armchair tour through Scottish countryside and culture. And, yes, you will find out where in St. Louis you can dine on a tasty sheep's stomach stuffed with oatmeal.
