Bagpipes and Thistle Focus Of Century Club Talk
At the Century Club meeting Mrs. Ward presented a charm filled paper on Bagpipes and the Thistle. The talk traced the bagpipe from ancient Rome to Britain as a military and ceremonial instrument and recalled the thistle as Scotland’s national flower with a Danish invasion tale. Next week the club will meet at Mrs. Glaize’s home with notes on Gordonsville wildflowers and Chancellorsville's newly planned preserve.
