This year, please consider purchasing a ticket to the new and exclusive Patron Pub which offers some of the rarest scotches and Scottish fare, and features our guest of honor and Parade Grand Marshal Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Secretary Richard Lochhead. The Patron Pub opens at 7pm and tickets can be purchased for $150/individual and $250/couple. You may purchase your tickets on-line through The Campagna Center.
