Today at midday, cast members and friends and family of the cast sent the Mandala flowers down into the River Tweed to remember the 27, where their remains were thought to have been placed. It was a fitting end to the project - thanks to Chris Blagdon for arranging it. This community theatre project has linked a diverse group of people and explored place, historic events and trauma, heritage, culture and the River Tweed and was thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland and Destination Tweed UK
