This is a diary of events for 2009

We had another full and varied program of events lined up for the year, including a four night break at the Queensferry hotel - Edinburgh in May.

This stylish hotel is surrounded by a lovely garden area on the north side of the famous Firth of Forth Bridge and affords a wonderful view of it. Ideally placed, the hotel is approximately 9 miles from the city centre.

The Palace of Holyrood House, the Royal Yacht Britannia and the famous Burrell Collection at Pollock Country Park are just a few of the locations we visited during our packed five day itinerary.
