Let me be your guide to the Bathgate Highland Games 2009.
Held at Bathgate, which is a town half way between Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland's central belt, these games only started as recently as 1972, and are not among the most famous of the Scottish Games.
Our recent spell of summer weather brought out the crowds, and having queued almost half an hour to gain admission to the grounds the next problem was going to be getting to the front of the crowd to see what was happening in the arena.
The commentator announced that the temperature was 27 celsius, or 80 fahrenheit, which is about as warm as it gets during the Scottish summer and there was already a long queue for the beer tent.
