"The Michaelmas daisies,Among the dead weeds,
Bloom for St. Michael's
Valorous deeds."
At this time of the year, on the Isle of Skye, north of mainland Scotland, most flowers are gone or at least dead. After all, autumn has arrived with chilly temperatures and shorter and shorter days. But one brave plant is in flower during the Feast of St. Michael (aka Michaelmas) - a daisy that is named for this feast day!A procession!
Sports and games!
Horse races!
Feasting on goose, Michaelmas blackberry pie, and a special Michaelmas bannock (bread or cake)!
Take a look at the gorgeous landscapes of this craggy island:
