[Chrissss]

Excellent! Thanks for posting this info.

Chris...

[Macman]

Thank you for that listing. I wish I could take the summer off and travel to Highland Games! Just one change in the Victoria Games: it will be moving from Bullen Park to Topaz Park this year.

[Mr. Kilt]

Great list, thanks for posting that!
I would double check the Calgary and Canmore dates, though. They are normally on back-to-back dates, not the same date.

[McMurdo]

Well if anyone has any updates please feel free to add them, this list was sent to me by my Clan Society. Please add to it if you can.

[JerseyLawyer]

The link for Antigonish is http://www.antigonishhighlandgames.com/.

I'll probably be going to Maxville and Montreal.

[Sheep In Wolf's Clothing]

Thanks. I use to use a website by a local piper ( http://web.ripnet.com/~nimmos/highland_games.html) but it has not been updated lately. It's a neat site to poke around on and Mr.Nimmo is a really nice guy.
I will be at Maxville again this year. (Stop by the MacArthur booth and say hello!) I am trying to get to Spencerville this year too. I have heard it's great and more like a gathering.
Thanks again,
Sara
