Crowning
Festival Marquee Hawkcraig Road, Aberdour, Fife, UKStart your day off by coming to the marquee to celebrate the crowning of this year’s Royal Party by Aberdour’s one and only Lisa Norman. This has been an amazing year for Lisa, with Aberdour Shinty Club celebrating their Silver Jubilee, the club founded by Lisa in 2001. Having lifted 3 major youth competitions last year and inspiring many youngsters over the years to pick up a caman, she was awarded the 2025 Mowi Youth Coach of the Year by the Camanachd Association. We are delighted that she will officiate at the crowning this year.
We have four wonderful Primary 7 pupils who are excited to bring a Royal presence to this year’s festivities. We will welcome the Festival Queen, Io, with her Attendant Holly, and the Festival King, Jamie, with his Attendant Leone. Come and join them as they are officially crowned – the Royal Party of the 42nd year of the Aberdour Festival!
