0:00:20 > 0:00:24BAGPIPES DRONE
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Woohoo! Hello! I'm Thomas Ticker.
0:00:28 > 0:00:33You've caught me a bit out of breath. I found these bagpipes
0:00:33 > 0:00:37and I'm trying to play them. They always remind me of Scotland.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40That's where the festival I am showing you today is from!
0:00:40 > 0:00:45St Andrew's Day, and St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49and did you know, there's a city in Scotland called St Andrews?
0:00:49 > 0:00:54I've a friend there getting ready for the celebrations. Shall we see?
0:00:56 > 0:01:01- Hi, I'm George and this is my brother, Archie.- This is St Andrews,
0:01:01 > 0:01:06and we live here. This is St Rule's Tower - you can see the whole town.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11It is named after the patron saint of Scotland. We're going to see
0:01:11 > 0:01:17how many images of St Andrew we can find around the town. Come on!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21There's a really big statue of St Andrew.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Wow, let's go and find more in town!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Wow, look at that! Look, Archie, there's another one.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- There's one up there, on the town hall!- And there's one up there!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40A long time ago, in St Andrews, there was a cathedral.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45It is believed that, after St Andrew died, his bones were sent here
0:01:45 > 0:01:50many years ago. Since then, lots of people have visited the town.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56To celebrate St Andrew's Day, this shop made a special ice-cream cake.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00We're going to help do the finishing touches.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04There we go... That's it!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Well done.- It's blue and white,
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- and looks like the saltire, on the Scottish flag.- Excellent. That's it!
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- Shall we take a piece to Mum and Dad?- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- Do you want some of mine, George? - Yeah!
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Mmm...- It tastes of Scotland!
0:02:28 > 0:02:33Tomorrow, the whole town is going to be full of people
0:02:33 > 0:02:35enjoying the celebrations.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39We've come home to try on our kilts.
0:02:39 > 0:02:45- We're going to wear these tomorrow. - For a special service at church!
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Kilts are a traditional type of Scottish clothing
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- that have been worn for hundreds of years.- The pattern is called tartan.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59As well as the kilt, we put on a belt, special socks and shoes,
0:02:59 > 0:03:04and a sporran, which is a sort of bag. We'll put my bow-tie on now.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12And I'm dressed fully! Like a Scot.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16We're making traditional Scottish biscuits
0:03:16 > 0:03:20to give to our neighbour, Margaret. They're called shortbread.
0:03:20 > 0:03:26- We need plain flour, butter and sugar.- Who will hold the...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- sieve?- I will!- OK. Archie was first.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33George, you can pour the flour into the sieve.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Can you do it really slowly?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39And carefully? Tap, tap, that's it, well done.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Ready, set, messy!
0:03:43 > 0:03:47We're rubbing it together with our fingers.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Brilliant, George, get your hands in there and mix all that sugar in.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Feels like squishy sand.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Lift it out...
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Now we're pressing the mixture into a baking tray.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08Push it down. Now we'll smooth it right off to make it really nice.
0:04:08 > 0:04:15This is what your gran showed me how to do. We'll go in half again...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- You see that?- Those look nice!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Now for the real expert bit - the forking!
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Have a go, Archie, see how you go.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30Go right down to the bottom. That's it. Let George have a turn now.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32OK?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Fantastic!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Well done!- Do we put it in the oven?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43We are giving it to the next-door neighbour!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Oh, this looks lovely!
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Can we have a bit?- Yes, but put some in the box for Margaret as well.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- What's it like?- It's great!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Well done, you made it! That was a great job, that was fantastic!
0:04:59 > 0:05:05We can't wait for all the exciting things that'll happen tomorrow. Bye!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Wow, I can't wait for those celebrations.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I think I've mastered the bagpipes now! Would you like to hear me play?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17..You would? Good.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21HE PLAYS "Scotland the Brave"
0:05:24 > 0:05:27MUSIC CONTINUES
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- RECORD STOPS - OK, I was cheating.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37By the right, quick, march!
0:05:37 > 0:05:43These children are playing the bagpipes and drums
0:05:43 > 0:05:46in the ruins of St Andrews Castle.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49These are called snare drums...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57..and these are called tenor drums.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Bagpipes are played by blowing into the blowstick.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23The bag fills up with air, which is squeezed, and the noise is made
0:06:23 > 0:06:27from the air coming out of three pipes, called drones.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And this one's called a chanter.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33A tune is played on the chanter
0:06:33 > 0:06:36by covering the different holes
0:06:36 > 0:06:39with your fingers.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55I think this music has given these children an idea.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Hmm...
0:07:01 > 0:07:02They're wearing blue...
0:07:02 > 0:07:05and white.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What are they going to make?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It's the Scottish flag!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Now, that was real Scottish music.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Eh? Look what I've found!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's a kilt from Scotland!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Feels a bit strange.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40But I'm wearing it to get in the mood
0:07:40 > 0:07:43for the St Andrew's Day celebrations.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Shall we see?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Hello! It's St Andrew's Day!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51And we're going to start the day
0:07:51 > 0:07:54with our favourite Scottish breakfast, porridge!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Mummy, can we help? - Come on then, over here.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- What's the first ingredient? - What do you think?- Porridge oats.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- That's right! How many cups? - Was it two?- Yes.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- What's next?- Was it the milk? - It's the milk, OK.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11So, how many cups of milk?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Three.- I think it's three.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16What's the other ingredient?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Water?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Yeah.- OK.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30OK, boys, time to sit down! All done.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33That's it. OK. Ready to pour...
0:08:33 > 0:08:34This looks yummy!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37You ready? Down it goes...
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Tell me when!
0:08:38 > 0:08:39- That enough?- There.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43And...quite happily enjoying my porridge...
0:08:46 > 0:08:49..which is very hot!
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Now we've had our breakfast, we'd better get dressed!
0:08:54 > 0:08:58It's nearly time to go to the church service.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03'Today, we've got a special job to do in church.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07'We're going to read out loud to everyone.'
0:09:07 > 0:09:10'It's time for our big moment now.'
0:09:10 > 0:09:13"Sir, we want to see Jesus."
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Philip went and told Andrew, and the two of them went and told Jesus.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22"And my father will honour anyone who serves me."
0:09:23 > 0:09:25APPLAUSE
0:09:28 > 0:09:32'Now we're going to surprise our neighbour, Margaret,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35'with the Scottish shortbread we made for her.'
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Hello, Archie! Hello, George! Wow, don't you look smart today?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45We made you some shortbread!
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Come on in, then!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Do you make this yourself? - BOTH: Yes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58- Shall I have a piece?- Yes. - Would you like a piece?- Yes, please!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- All right. And would Mummy like a piece?- Erm, yes!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Yes, I would love some, thank you very much!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Very good.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Yummy.- Yeah!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17And what else have you done today?
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- We did a reading.- Did you? Well done!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Absolutely fantastic.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Did you both stand up at the same time?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Mummy told me that you nearly cried!
0:10:29 > 0:10:34I did nearly cry! It was wonderful seeing you up there.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40'The celebrations are going to be outdoors this evening,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43'so we've wrapped up warm for them.'
0:10:43 > 0:10:45BAGPIPES PLAY
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Here they come...
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Now there's going to be a procession to take us to a special surprise!
0:11:01 > 0:11:04'The town has started to get really busy.'
0:11:15 > 0:11:18'Look at the lights on the buildings!'
0:11:20 > 0:11:23'There's loads going on.'
0:11:29 > 0:11:35I think it's the ceilidh next! Have you got your dancing shoes on?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Everyone's dancing. In Scotland, we call this the ceilidh.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Come on, Mummy, let's go!
0:11:51 > 0:11:52I'm dizzy!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58'Everyone's having a great time.'
0:12:01 > 0:12:05We hope you enjoyed seeing the St Andrew's Day celebrations with us.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09BOTH: It's great to celebrate! Bye!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12That was fantastic.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Well, maybe one day, I'll be able to play the bagpipes,
