Scottish Snowdrop Festival 2008
The name is quite deceiving to those who are not familiar with Scotland or the Scottish Snowdrop Festival. It is a flower festival, set amidst magical winter scenes and breathtaking snow covered gardens. A Scottish Snowdrop is a tiny white flower that blooms in the beginning of each year and were brought to Scotland by soldiers who fought in the Crimean War and who planted them in their gardens. Today, these petite flowers adorn the forests, the shores along the rivers and immaculately manicured gardens and parks.
