I didn't go last year, but I may come down this year.

Pack carefully, mates. Greenville can be really hot. Two years ago I personally witnessed 3 pipers go down with heat exhaustion.

Two years ago it was hotter than the proverbial "hinges of Hades" due to a heat wave that gripped much of the South. Last year the temperature was much more pleasant and never really went beyond the low-to-mid 80s. Having this year rescheduled the Greenville Scottish Games for May (instead of the previous June date) temperatures should be comfortably in the upper 70s or very low 80s.
