Transcript

00:00 Come along with me to Bogbane Farm to see Miss Scotland and this year's Autumn Fair.

00:05 The event was aimed to raise money for Miss Scotland's chosen charity, the Highland Hospice.

00:21 There were dozens of local markets set up within the barn, perfect for gift giving.

00:45 After having a good look around, it was time to speak to Miss Scotland herself.

00:51 Hi, my name is Chelsea Allison and I am Miss Scotland 2023. Today we are at Bogbane, we are running an Autumn Fair.

00:59 There's lots of local businesses, everything from perfumes to candles to little Christmas trinkets,

01:05 face painters, baking, food stalls, they've got everything here. We're all here to raise money

01:13 for the hospice, everyone donates a bit of what they take today for the hospice.

01:19 So yeah, it's a really important charity and it's my chosen charity for my journey through

01:24 Miss Scotland and on the road to Miss World. Where did the idea of an Autumn Fair come about?

01:30 It was actually not my idea so I can't take credit for it, it was my auntie's idea. She regularly does

01:38 fundraising fairs for her son's ice hockey up at Bogbane, so it was her idea to do a Miss Scotland Autumn Fair.

01:46 And it turned out really well, so it was a good idea.

02:06 There were so many beautiful handmade gifts available as well as some live music.

02:46 These are the hearts of kindness and one of the uses is to reduce the mental chatter that we have.

02:53 So the way we can do it is we choose a colour that sings to us, we pick it up and we put it in our hand.

02:59 So that's the sensory part and then on the back of the card comes a grounding exercise.

03:04 And when you do the two together, it's a pause, it'll stop the mental chatter and it's just a moment in your day for yourself.

03:12 And last but by no means least, I got to meet some huskies from St Sled Dog Rescue.
