More Piccies from N.H.H.G.

The future of kilt wearing is secure:

All three young 'uns of this family were kilted. I could only get a pic of the youngest as the other two never stopped running.


This young gent enjoyed his highland weekend. I am working the information tent at the time he came to get his "Passport" stamped. One of the youth activities involves getting a "Passport" and taking it around to all the clan tents, and the various Scottish organizations and getting it "stamped". The clan or Scottish organization usually imparts some information about itself to the child. It is a way of teaching about Scot heritage, and making it fun at the same time.


We even had some young Drum Majors amongst the competitors. Here they are with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Pipe and Drum Corps.

At the opening ceremonies, the clans all march onto the Parade Ground. Sixty-five clans were represented. Plenty of kilts and tartan on display.









More to come

There were twenty-five bands in competition. Here they are as a massed band.













The Clan Village was quite crowded and popular.

Before the Games. A view of Loon Mountain from the village in Lincoln, New Hampshire.


Saturday turned out to be a very active day, and most of the spectators stayed right to the end resulting in a bottleneck trying to get to the buses.




This Que is close to 64,000 people waiting to get on the bus, to go to the parking lots.

There will be more.

To give an idea of the lines, the group I was with left at 5:30 (was in line about 20 minutes), got to the car about 6PM. Had dinner and went back (arriving about 7ish) to Loon for the evening concerts (Albannach & Red Hot Chilli Pipers) and there was still a line to get on the buses.
