This is me arriving at 8am when things were
still quiet
Picture on the left shows that girls wear
sporrans in Canada :-) And on the right even the local police are
wearing kilts!
Some of the tents that are offering food and
other items and I wonder who that was that sneaked into the picture on the
left :-)
And note the T-Shirt on the left... "Scottish
Girls Kick Arse"!
And the first of the Clan tents
We had Clan MacKenzie, Clan MacIntosh, Clan
Hunter, Clan Elliot, Clan Rattray and Clan Stewart
Clan Rattray had an excellent tent and I had a
night out with Keith Rattray the previous evening at the games BBQ
And note the banners where the Clan Elliot and
Clan Rattray were welcoming me to the Games. Very kind of them and they
told me they'd given out my web address to many folk that came to their
tents
The Dancing started very early and there
seemed to be a whole tented village for the dancers and their parents
which you'll see later. The piper for the event must have had a lot of
puff as every time I came around for more photos he was still
playing!
I was going to do a photo shoot on some of the
vendors tents before heading back to take more pictures of the dancing
Loads of young girls and women were in for the
piping competitions and I talked to a few of them and they're all members
of local pipe bands in their home towns.
Lots of judging all over the park with young
and old competing in the various grades
On the right you can see the wee smiley face
they put on the back of your hand when you go into the games. This means
you can go in and out and just show the stamp when you go back in again |
