Summary
This pageant took place at Kilmany House in Fife, and was probably a series of tableaux. Organised by the local Scottish Women's Rural Institute to support the North Fife Nursing Association, the decision to stage the pageant may have been influenced by the history of nursing pageants that had taken place in 1932, as well as medical pageants such as 'The Flaming Torch' at Liverpool, also in 1932. Another history of nursing pageant took place in 1937.) The early 1930s saw a large number of pageants of different kinds staged in Scotland.
