Highland Games in Scotland

[creagdhubh]

No, AE, it doesn't. Your question was how many clan tents are there at games in Scotland; you said that at Halkirk you had only seen tents of Gunns and Sinclairs. What we are trying to say here is that tents at Scottish games and fairs are simply venues for local hospitality. So, in the lands of the Gunns and Sinclairs, there are Gunn and Sinclair tents. Similarly the Campbells at Inverary, the Macphersons at Newtonmore, the Clanchattan at Moy, the Cunninghams at Cumnock, etc. The Games in Scotland are not gatherings of clans but the gathering (perhaps, but not always) of the one clan within whose traditional territory the particular Games is being held.

I seem to be all out of "ayes" already, so plus one here. Well put, Rex.
