Hordaland Christmas Tree - Civic events

Date 25 November 2020
Guest County Convenor of Vestland, Jon Askeland, David Windmill, Hon Norwegian Consul, Arlene Stuart & Underbelly Representatives
Description Zoom call with Hordaland hosted by Arlene from Forth 1 instead of the usual outside celebrations.

The tree is gifted to the city by Hordaland County Council every year, to mark the assistance provided by the Scots to Norway during WWII.

Upon the fall of Norway in 1940, more than 7,000 exiles were based in Scotland as the Norwegian Brigade, fighting to free their country. The help and support they received from the Scots has never been forgotten.
