I've listed at least one fabricator that offers hammers. I will be putting a couple more up soon.

Cabers are a little difficult. I will post a link to a DIY caber video, in case finding a whole...

There were a few adult beverages involved. :p

Hi all,

I just went live with a new website resource for the Highland Games. It's not a business or another forum, so hopefully I'm not breaking any rules sharing it with you all here. This is...

It looks a lot like a Kate MacPhearson Sporran. She has made some beautiful ones from Owl, Pheasant, and Ducks.

I am familiar with the USA Kilts State tartans. Interesting concept, but I like the official Arizona tartan better. Good luck finding a few more that are interested in the one you like! :)

Check out this blog.

Is this the tartan that you are talking about? I'd love to have a kilt made in this tartan too...but it'll be in...

Afraid I'll miss it again this year.

Any XMarker's going to join me in Moab, Utah this November? The UHA is hosting the inaugural SAAA North American Women's Lightweight Highland Games Championship.

Here are a couple more from the field...

Andy Vincent (former NFL offensive line with the Dolphins and the Lions) with an awesome caber toss!...

Only managed to see a few XMarkers on the athletics field...I made the local paper though, judging the professional athletes.
...

Not all thistles, but I took these last weekend while rabbit hunting in the Sonora Desert. When the desert blooms, all of those nasty spikey things are really pretty!
...

I'll be there both days on the athletics field, judging the pros. Can't miss me; look for the hat. :rock:
...

I love the long hair sporrans...and they all seem to have one except for the one with the full-mask sporran.

I'll be there too...confined to the athletics field both days.

Not the greatest quality pictures, but yes, we crawl sometimes.

A mathematician goes out and counts his flock of sheep out on the hillside and has 67 head. Of course he tells his friends he has 70...after he rounds them up.

:sorry:

Thank you Sydnie!

Here's one more of the rest of our team:

This morning a small group of us joined the thousands that walked the 3.5 mile (5K) trail to raise awareness and money for the American Cancer Society. We wore our kilts, carried a caber (painted...

I was there both days...never made it away from the athletics field. Alan H was there too!

One more a little closer look at the detail.

I'll start it off...

Here's my favorite contemporary sporran:

It's an Eddie Brat Leather original. Found here: http://www.eddiebratleather.com/

Not one of his wildest by far,...

I had the pleasure of judging both the Women's Master's class and the Women's Lightweight class this past weekend in San Diego, CA at the Vista Highland Games. Too fun to put into words!

Yes Jock, it was unfortunate to have travelled all that way, been in the same city, and missed each other! Next time, friend.

I know it's a "women" of the heavy events thread...but that's me in the background, doing my best to look like a judge.

That was a perfect 12:00 toss, BTW!


Felicia Fisher ( San Diego )...

I like to consider myself a "traditionalist", although I proudly wear an Eddie Brat sporran (have a look here) whenever possible, because his workmanship is incredible, they are wearable works of...
