The Caledonian Pipe Band will he in attendance and, with the music of the round-abouts, the cries of the showmen, the laughter of the crowds, the fairyland touch provided by the strings of coloured electric lights above the green sward and beautiful flower beds, the scene should be one of charm and abandon.
