Strictly Come Duncin' for Peterhead Scottish Week

The Waterside Inn was the venue for Scottish Week’s newest event, “Strictly Come Duncin” - a local take on the popular BBC dance show.

Five locals were paired with professional dancers and had been in training for the last few weeks prior to the inaugural event.

Stephen and Chloe, Tyler and Katie, Natalia and Kelly, Jason and Lynn, and Fiona and Hollie had each taken to the dance floor hoping to impress the judges.

Jason and Lynn along with Katie and Tyler advanced to the final dance-off. The judges then chose Katie McLean and Tyler Summers as the winners and rewarded them with a glitter ball trophy. The pair had danced to Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary” and wowed the judges and audience.

The event was deemed a tremendous success by event organisers, and Peterhead Scottish Week committee member Amanda McLean.

Meanwhile, staff at Allandale House were delighted with the turnout for the ‘Allandale Gala for Scottish Week’ event, held in the grounds of the care home car park.

The event ran from 11am to 3pm on Saturday and featured a tombola, raffles, refreshments, hook a duck, home bakes stall, and a play your cards right game. Residents were also treated to a fish supper for lunch and got to enjoy activities.

Event organiser and care home staff member, Kelly O’Brien (who herself was a former Buchan Princess in 1998) said she was happy how things went.
