Scotland lassie Susie is 2015 Blue Jean Country Queen at Macra na Feirme festival

Scotland’s Susie Manson was crowned the 2015 Blue Jean Country Queen in Athboy, Co Meath, at the end of a hugely exciting Macra na Feirme festival weekend.

Susie, a member of Nairn Jac Young farmers’ Club, beat off some very stiff competition from finalists from all over Ireland — and indeed other overseas representatives — to take the title at the Macra na Feirme annual festival last Sunday night.

The 21-year-old child minder and shop assistant spent time in Macra circles in Laois for two years, and was at the festival last year.
