Crowning Lady 2011 - Margaret Abbot
The Crown Lady for 2011 is Mrs Margaret Abbot, Margaret and her husband Bob arrived in Peebles some 35 years ago. Born in Newton village and went to the local school and then onto Dalkeith High School. She is a court seamstress and dress maker and has helped the committee to make many a costume over the years. Margaret is also well known as an active participant of the Friday Fancy Dress Parade. Margaret has had an active involvement in the Highlands Games committee for over 20 years and has been the Chairman for the last 4 years.
Upon thanking the Chairman and the committee for the honour of being Crowing lady and emotional Margaret stated she never thought that this honour would never happen to her, and she will look forward to doing it with pride and honour. She had often watched previously crowning ladies perform the role over the years and always thought I wonder how they are feeling when they are on the stage, but tonight she will find out for herself.
