2023 Grandfather Mountain Highland Games
And here we go: https://gmhg.org/
The annual trip up the hill is drawing near. The weather looks interesting and is of course changing by the minute.
High noon on Saturday, group pic anyone?

Clan Sinclair is in tent 1-62 this year. That's at the end of the field, opposite the main entrance and the @Balaamsass51 STA tent. We always take our group photo at noon on Saturday. I'll be there as soon as I can after, so wait for me. 
All XMarkers are welcome to stop by our tent for a wee dram of Old Pulteney and/or some of @carolinanan117 ginger lemon shortbread. See ya'll on the Mountain!

Sounds like a plan gents. I'll be at the Clan MacCallum Malcolm Society tent #1-56, dispensing Virginia Single Malt Courage & Conviction Cuvee Cask.

Meet at the Scottish Tartan Authority (STA) Tartan Information tent, usually located just inside the main entrance.
(Edited To Add): I just checked the tent assignments and the field map. Just inside the main gate, the first two tents on your left (X1 and X2) are COSCA and STA.

GMHG was a one-day experience for me. Here are pics taken before the meet-up near the STA tent. Balaamsass51 and his lass hard at work.

I saw Doc MacBean Sunday and told him I finally remembered cottage is the tiny building I was talking about Saturday. Appalachia, please pass this on to your friend who shared the expensive and tasty single malt with us. More Xmarkers at Clan Sinclair,
(L-R) @Mael Coluim, @Appalachia, @ASinclair, @Doc MacBean, and @carolinanan117.
Note: In USA, we go on vacation. In Canada, they go cottaging. Cottaging has a different meaning in UK.
