Past Events
Baking for Burns
At the end of January, we held a Baking for Burns Pop Up, which was really an excuse to enjoy some traditional Scottish baking.
Our bakers did the national bard and lyricist proud, with a tasty selection of date loaf, gingerbread, haggis sausage rolls, haggis bob bons, treacle scones, shortbread and much more.
However, it was the people who came to the event who were the real stars, making it a very sociable and friendly morning that was much enjoyed by us all.
Hair Ice
There have been a number of sightings of Hair Ice on Drummond Hill and the surrounding area. Hair Ice is a relatively rare phenomenon which only occurs in northern areas – Drummond Hill being one of the few sites.
It occurs when water present in the wood freezes and creates a barrier that traps liquid between the ice and the pores of the wood. This creates a suction force which pushes water out of the pores to the edge of the ice surface where it freezes and extends outwards. As this repeats, it pushes a thin ‘hair’ of ice out of the wood which is around 0.01 mm in diameter and keeps its shape for a few hours.
From a distance, it can look like a small clump of unmelted snow, but a closer look reveals its beautiful texture.
