EMBRO AREA
Embro is the old Scottish name for Edinburgh. This quaint little village is the home of the Highland Games. Here on July 1 each year the sounds of bagpipes shrills loud and clear and pretty little Scotch lassies vie for honours in the Highland Fling. Embro is also the home of the "Mighty Men of Zorra" who took on the best tug-of-war teams in the world. Enjoy the history highlights of Rev.George Leslie Mackay local hero here and in Tamsui, Taiwan. He founded the first Canadian overseas mission. Perhaps speed is your thing? Than you may be interested in Bob Hayward who brought international fame to Canada and this area when he drove the world champion speedboat Miss Supertest III to victory, winning for Canada the Harmsworth Trophy in 1959, 1960 and 1961. Stroll along the banks and watch the wildlife in the Embro Conservation Park.
