THE hard-working members of Yes Linton are holding their first ever St Andrew’s Night Ceilidh and are inviting people from across their area or beyond to join them in West Linton for what is sure to be a fun night.
It might not be as glam as Strictly Come Dancing but with the excellent Matt Seattle Ceilidh Band providing the music, there will be no lack of entertainment in the Graham Institute on November 30.

Proceedings will start at 7pm when the doors open, with the music commencing at 7.30pm.
The ticket price of £12.50 includes delicious stovies from the local Pyet Deli, but please be advised it does not include drinks as you will have to bring your own bottle.
Tickets are available from Eventbrite or in person from the estimable Glenda Meek at Rumbling Tam’s shop in the village.
A spokesperson for Yes Linton said: “We have organised several events but this is the biggest event we have put on yet.
“We have been going for over a year now and our membership is increasing all the time. Indeed we recently welcomed the actress and writer Gerda Stevenson to our list of members.
“Our St Andrew’s Night event will be a family friendly ceilidh for people of all ages and political persuasions and we would particularly like to encourage people from the various Yes groups around us in the Borders, Lanarkshire and Lothians to join us for what we are sure will be a fun evening of music and dance with the Matt Seattle Ceilidh Band.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
