SWI LADIES’ own version of tea in the park marks 100 years since the organisation’s founding in 1917.
In Kintyre, a tea party has been organised at the Argyll Hotel, Bellochantuy, from 3pm to 5pm next Saturday, July 1.
Originally known as the Scottish Women’s Rural Institute, the group was started by a suffragette, East Lothian farmer’s wife, Catherine Blair, a year before women – over the age of 30 – were given the right to vote.
