Our last segment for the week, was a very special one for Macca.

Joining us live in the studio is one of the organisers of the Melbourne Tartan Festival, a celebration of Scottish culture, music, dance and community right here in the heart of Melbourne. The centrepiece is tomorrow’s Tartan Day Parade down Collins Street, with hundreds of pipers, drummers, dancers, clans, societies and even Scottie dogs. And this year there’s something extra special: a world record attempt for the largest ladies pipe band ever assembled.

The Melbourne Tartan Festival is an annual celebration of Scottish culture, music, dance, clans, community and heritage in the heart of Melbourne.
