How many does it take to saw through a log? I took these photos on September 8th — a cold, autumn Sunday morning at the Glengarry Harvest Fall Festival in the village of Dunvegan, about an hour east of Ottawa. This little excursion was a reminder of how a small corner of eastern Ontario retains a strong Scottish presence and heritage. A few snapshots follow!
