			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>When I first joined this site twenty years ago I was Secretary and Treasurer of my local Highland Games (unfortunately no longer held) and I already knew quite a few people active in Scotland's Highland Games circuit, some of whom were also members here.   Through my Highland Games and Clan Society contacts I have also attended Games in England, Canada and USA, and through contact made with fellow kilt wearers through this forum I have attended kilted gatherings in England, Ireland and Germany, also hosted a weekend long gathering in Scotland.   Pre-covid there were also Burns Suppers here in the south of Scotland which I would attend, plus I would also meet up with visitors to Scotland from Canada and USA a few times per year.<br />
All this seems to have been lost since the pandemic, sadly some of the friends I made through this forum have passed on, but on the positive side we have gained a significant number of new members as I am seeing hitherto unfamiliar names now posting regularly.<br />
I live just a short walk from the House of Cheviot factory here in Hawick where kilt hose are produced, eleven miles from Lochcarron at Selkirk, fifty-five miles from Edinburgh, and eighty-five miles from Glasgow, where I'm hoping to attend the World Pipe Band Championships during August.<br />
Anyone visiting lowland or southern Scotland from anywhere, feel free to send me a personal message and perhaps we can arrange to meet up while you are here, as it is always nice to add a name and a face to the user name.</div>
