Very nice photo! You must be very proud, and rightly so!

Hey watch it there! They were actually very well behaved. It's the boys you have to watch.
By the way the MacTavish had a very nice double tent in the Clan Village and a good showing. Not as good as ours of course but a close second.

Your Caber pic looks like they were throwing up hill. Was that an optical illusion or was it REALLY uphill?

We had our AGM there. Wish I could have made it. Sherry, our USA Association National Commissioner, always does a great job with the tent.
Clan Buchanan has a great presence at games here in the midwest too. I always carry a pair of shades in my sporran in case they are across the row from us.

Roger - it's an optical illusion. The athletics are held in a flat area at the base of the ski slope. I'm guessing that the camera angle makes it look like an uphill toss.

Having learned of the rivalry between the Buchanans and the MacLarens I've taken to calling my wee beasties my "little peace treaties".

Thank you, they are my pride and my heart.

And they'll be there at the Scotland Ct games cheering as I throw (my debut).
