    Games Reccomendation

    I would like a wee bit of input from the forum on this topic. What Highland Games would you suggest that would be centrally located, medium to large sized for people traveling from all parts of the United States & Canada.

    When I was in the discussion for it someone suggested the Springfield, Illinois Games.

    The Illinois Saint Andrews Society highland games in Chicago are only about 20 minutes from O'Hare airport. I would rate them as medium large. They are always the 3rd weekend in June. Here is a link. http://www.chicago-scots.org/home/index.php

    I'd second that. AND you just can't beat the location for a dramatic games site.

    The Stone Mountain Highland Games, held every October near Atlanta, are said to be the second largest in the US, after Grandfather Mountain.
