through the steep hills and valleys of the
southern neighborhoods, returning via
trolley.
Location: Southside
Time: 5:45 PM - 8:30 PM

frosty walk for one hour, returning to a

warm our hearts. A better evening cannot be
found on this side of the Atlantic. To help
us conjure the images of the Highlands, this
event will feature the bagpipe player.
