“At 4.30 p.m. there will be a short guided tour of the Stones and the flag lowering ceremony is at 5 pm accompanied by the Breton National Anthem ‘Bro Gozh ma Zadoù’ and an informative short talk on St Yves – the Patron Saint of Brittany,’ she said.
“The we invite you to stay to enjoy the Caledonian Society’s Breton ‘Fest-Noz’ – where you will be able to sample traditional Breton food and drink with the opportunity to learn a simple dance ‘Hanter Dro’ and hear about some of the exploits of King Arthur himself. “
