Great Scots! it’s a tartan invasion

More than a touch of tartan was spotted in Dandenong on Sunday 29 May.
The 14th annual Scottish Heritage Day also brought Scottish dogs, horses and dancers to Greaves Reserve for the Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society event.
Pipe band performances, calls from the Australasian Guild of Town Criers and kilt competitions also entertained visitors.
Steve Reason and his family travelled from Sale to be part of the Scottish celebration.
They’re involved with a group called The Colliewobbles, which cares for rescued collies and shelties.
“On their Facebook page they mentioned this event,” Mr Reason.
“My wife’s from Scottish heritage and we usually go up once a month to Glen Waverley.
“This was a nice day out.”
The Reasons took home two blue ribbons thanks to blue merle Shetland sheepdogs Nessie and Myrtle, for the best rescue pet and Wee Beastie Fancy Dress.
