Minister visits Heritage Centre

To commemorate St Andrew's Day the Scottish Minister for Culture, Linda Fabiani, visited the Athelstaneford Heritage Centre on Friday 30th November. As well as celebrating St Anderw's Day with local school children, the visit was to mark the decision by East Lothian Council to fly the Saltire from all public buildings. The decision was made in recognition of the fact that the birthplace of the Saltire lies within East Lothian.
