Highland Games Scotland vs the rest of us?
Sounds like a challenge? Not really.
I attended the Markinch games back in '99 and got to see how the Scots do it. At that time I noticed some differences in what events, activities took place compared to what I was used to. I wonder if those games were typical to all Scottish games or do they vary at each games in scotland?
One big difference was that they had a section with amusement type rides for the kids and no Clan representation. I was puzzled till I thought that the games for the locals could be somewhat like our county fairs in the US.
I'd like to hear alittle of what your views are. I've only attended games in New England (excluding Markinch) so they be quite different in different regions here too. And what about the rest of the globe?
I'm sorry that I can't attend Gathering 2009 in Edinburgh but I hope someone documents it for the rest of us to see.
