Virginia Scottish Games 2009

[Mael Coluim]

Yesterday, I attended the 36th Annual Virginia Scottish Games and Festival. The Games have moved again, to the Great Meadows near the Plains. There is more space than Sky Meadows where the Games were held the last two year.

My first course of business when I come to the Games is to acquire my wife a stuffed lamb. Our friends at the Scottish Trading Company (STC) provided me with the required lamb, so I was now free to go about my day!

The first XMarker I met as leaving the STC was DrillAgent and his lovely daughter. RebelScot joined us for the photo.



I am wearing my new ‘thin’ cotton hose from Jas Townsend & Son. In ordering them I struggled with getting a pair of the ‘red’ color hose. Not sure what I would wear them with, but acting on the impulse I got a pair with the others I ordered.

I soon would obtain “Off the Rack” from USA Kilts this casual in Thomson Grey and now had my reason in getting the ‘red’ hose! STC had a cotton Scottish hose which I bought a pair. I will review the cotton hose later.
