This guy, by the way, was pretty cool. We were watching him in the tent on Saturday. Little kids were coming up and asking to pose with him. Some of the kids would hold his Wallace sword, bigger than them, and he'd pose with their little plastic chrome ones.

To us, somehow, he carried it off and looked like somebody the event hired to keep the mood.

By the way, not to go too sideways on this, I don't know how it is stateside but here in Ontario, a surprising number of swords are worn by all combinations of people at Highland Games. This was especially true here.

No police were kilted this year, at least I didn't see any. They have been in the past.
