I heard that one is as close to the Highland games in Scotland. <br /><br />Since I won't be going to the convention as planned maybe I can funnel this into a real trip. <br /><br />Great post!

We pretty much parked ourselves there and watched little girls in thier cute dresses and wetwrapped hairs. Eventually, we wondered of to sheep hurding and kids spoted the bouning castle and that was the end of it. Until everyone got chaised under a beer tent by heavy rain. The band there played and they only had two brews on tap. But the burly guys continued tossing whatever is it that they threw over their heads, and some of them were women. Which was debateble. All in all we had a good time and my ears rang of pipe music for a week. Looking forward to the this year's HG.Firetuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657031771377559033noreply@blogger.com
