Scotty Games

This past weekend was the annual Highland Games, over in Enumclaw.
I have no idea how many attend this event, but it is amongst the largest gathering of Scots and bagpipes in North America.

I have not attended a gathering in at least ten years!
So, much fun!
I really was not going to go.
But, constant nagging by an old friend, prompted me along.

I stopped going when the "forest fairies" and their ilk took over the gather!
Luckily, they did not show up this year.
But lots of "medival" re-enactor types whom know nothing of Scotland nor its history!
Very sad ...

Bangers were the menu item of the day.
Thankfully sans the 'neeps'!
Gag!
And lest I forget, deep fried turkey legs!

Lots of music.
From harp to digeree-do!

Lots of vendors hocking all things Scottish:
Tea
Cookies
Books
Scarves
Kilts
etc

I think I really need to find my bagpipes .....
