    Richmond Highland Games

    It was a rainy Saturday for the Richmond Scottish Festival. Opening ceremonies started with the massed bands and parade of clans.

    I stopped by the Falconry Exhibition. They are indeed beautiful birds.

    I visited my kinsmen at the House of Gordon and Clan Donnachaidh tents. Their were quite a few visitors dropping in on the Gordons to learn about their ancestry. At the Donnachaidh tent three young people dropped by. All had three different surnames and each was a sept of the Clan!

    Todd (in the middle) convenes the Gordon Tent. He is a master chef and his wife Lois gives all visitors a warm welcome.



    This Robertson Piper piped the Donnachaidh clan song.

    I found fellow, XMarker Jerry well positioned and dry in the entertainment tent. I really like Jerry’s embroidered XMarks Clan Crest badge that his wife, Annette sewn to his balmoral.

    We were soon found by the other XMarkers and had a good crowd after all to enjoy 7 Nations.

    Seven Nations drew the crowds and didn’t disappoint them.





    Looking forward to my day tomorrow to hear our fellow XMarker ThatCelticBand and his group the Hooligans.
