4th July Party

Consulate Independence Day Party.  Last year Raeburn Place, this year the Port of Leith Distillery.  Today is also the 248th anniversary of the first US Consulate in Scotland, which was in Leith!

The "Stars and Stripes" cake was delicious.  Red stripes are strawberry and raspberry, blue is blueberries, white is icing.  

Extra: First Minister John Swinney bidding farewell to US Consul General Jack Hillmeyer who is moving on shortly to a new post.
