Perhaps one of the most extraordinary weekends ever in the Seat household - 250 Scots and assorted others decamped to St Petersburg to join forces with the Caledonian societies of that city and Moscow for a St Andrew's Day Ball. The high point (apart from getting to bed at 5am on Sunday morning) was attending a private concert given in Empress Catherine's theatre in the Hermitage; the low point was the reading of a turgid St Andrew's Day message from the First Minister during the pre-Ball dinner. Whoever wrote it has a tin ear, and lacks the most basic of writing skills.
I have begun to upload some images from the weekend - more to follow.
