Year of the Dad launched at Edinburgh Zoo

A Song for Dad launches year of events

Children’s Minister Aileen Campbell launched the Year of the Dad at Edinburgh Zoo yesterday. Ms Campbell was joined by around 300 people who enjoyed a day of stories, speeches, food and music – including a beautiful song written by local schoolchildren to mark the event.
