The Central New York 69th Highland Games are scheduled for this coming Saturday, August 14th. Any of my fellow upstate New Yorkers plan on going. I plan on it...it will be my first Highland Games ever.

Event info is here: CNY Scottish Games

Hey there. I plan on being there as well. Hope we get a chance to meet up. I've read your posts and am looking forward to meeting you live. They are good games and I am sure you are going to enjoy them.

I'll look for you!! Wish I could go to the Cortland ones too, but I have other family engagements that weekend!

Great. What time and where would you like to meet?

I had planned all year to attend and of course some family obligations have come up. Next year I will try yet again. Please someone enjoy some haggis or a meat pie for me.

I assume I'll be there by 11 or noon at the latest. Regarding the where?...No clue. I've got a pretty distinctive tartan though...Young Modern...Green with Yellow and Purple striping...and I think I'll be wearing my black goat hair sporran.

Gonna miss it this year. Have fun!

Longhunter, sorry I didn't reply sooner but I had to find a ride to the games since I don't drive. I lucked out and will be attending with a friend and his wife and possibly another friend as well. Also, I was anxiously awaiting a kilt I ordered from Scotland and was waiting to see if it would arrive in time. It came today. So I will be wearing a Royal Stewart kilt, lovat blue hose, black hunting leather sporran and light blue dress shirt and maybe a tie. I will look for you between 11 AM and 12 PM. Want to try meeting at the beer tent? Seumas52

Sounds good...beer tent it is...and I'm already jealous about the Royal Stewart. The more I see that tartan, the more I want it! Coincidentally, my wife is a descendant of Mary, Queen of Scots....I guess that makes Stewart a family tartan for us!

Hi Longhunter. It was great meeting you at the CNY Scottish games yesterday. Hope you and your family had a good time as you as you said this your first time experience. My friends and I had a good time there. Hopefully we can meet up again next year. Have a good day.
