    Scotland County Highland Games -- Clan Sinclair

    My sweetie, carolinanan117, and I convened for Clan Sinclair yesterday at the Scotland County Highland Games in Laurinburg, NC. Here are a few pictures to prove that it really happened.

    Early Saturday morning, Aaron (wahoonc) came by for a visit and we did the Hamish.

    Weather was the best it has ever been in the past 4 years! I think the X-crew made it happen!

    Laddie, I was drinking Scotch a hundred years before you were born. And I can tell you that whatever this is, it is definitely not Scotch.__​Scotty

    Thanks for sharing these beautiful pics, Alan!

    Practice the Hamish before the next games though or drink more beer/whisky before the Hamish pic!
