In Scotland itself there appeared to be a sort of apathy towards the gathering which was very sad as it was a spectacular occasion both on the 2 days at Holyrood Park and the pageant at the castle esplanade.

I felt that living in Scotland the publicity seemed to aimed at oversees with awareness of the event for locals lacking the publicity it required to get more people living in Scotland to attend.

Still credit must be given to the organisers who staged a magnificent weekend that Scotland had never seen before
