2010 West Linton Village Show
Yet another wet summer for the gardeners of West Linton to overcome and be able to exhibit at their Annual Show.
Again they responded magnificently and managed to stage an excellent display of flowers, fruit and vegetables which were a credit to them. Not forgetting the exhibitors in the cookery and handicraft sections who filled their hall with baking, jams and a variety of craft works.
All in all, a display which was well up to the standards and numbers of recent years.
