Earth Day- Stirling

The streets were crowded and the town had a buzz, something I haven’t seen for years. 
And all this to celebrate Earth Day. 
 
What was interesting to see were the events that attracted long queues.
All offered some kind of inter-activity from learning how to cut slate to stone carving and face painting.
 
Stalls selling “stuff”, even high quality “stuff”, had scant footfall, apart from the fresh food market which did a roaring trade.
The free music, of course, attracted a big audience.
 
Meanwhile our GOSSIP art collective ran free workshops all-day and enjoyed one of the best days ever.
