    I'll be there all weekend with my family, in the evenings on Friday and Saturday and in the afternoon on Sunday. Look for my son - he'll be the 10 year old in the Barleyjuice t-shirt.

    Hoping to get there. Heard about it too late to make it last year.

    Only been to Scottish games so far. I didn't notice anyone walking around wearing kilts in the website pictures. Are there alot of kilt wearers showing up, or is it just the dancers ?

    There are a lot of kilts there. Barleyjuice is an great band and they will be there. They also have pipe & drum bands as well. I will be there in my Irish national tartan on Saturday & a safron kilt on Sunday.

    Madadh - it's a shame you aren't not bringing the lads - it is easy to find someone when they have 150-lbs dogs with them!

    Yes it would be grand, but having my Aunt put us up for the weekend would be hard. She might even disown me. Also, at last weigh-in they came in at 165 and 170.
