Shown above is the 78th Fraser Highlanders Ottawa Garrison Pipe Band, led by Pipe Major Ermis Durofil, playing during the dinner at the Chateau Laurier, Rideau St., Ottawa. On the left is the dais for the ballroom band, but the head table guests are "buried" in the distance. The Scottish-theme wall banners, provided by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society Ottawa Branch, can be seen, together with the Societies' Saltire, on a yellow background. The Societies' Banner was not available for display, unfortunately.
