There is, in my opinion, no place for weaponry at highland games unless you are part of a reenactors troop. By that I mean a proper, period correct group and specifically not the various SCA groups that always seem to show up for highland games.

The games I work with have actually banned all weapons (except sgian dubhs and pipers dirks) outside of the reenactors area, which is roped off. I also place another vote against the "cartoon" highlanders that Logan was referring to. Proper period dress however is fantastic to see at the games, as Woodsheal is demonstrating.
