annual celebration of May Gibbs’ birthday 

May Gibbs wasborn on 17 January, 1877.

May Gibbs was a passionate lover of Scotty dogs; she had at least one as a companion during most of her time living at Nutcote. They regularly featured in her illustrations and later in her stories. 

To celebrate her birthday each year in January we hold a special event where we welcome all Scotty dogs and their owners to join in this annual celebration at Nutcote.
