150th Victoria Highland Games

[BCAC]

I'll see you there Jackson. As usual, I have the great honour bestowed upon me as games hagrarian.

I admit, I had to look that one up, piperdown.

I mentioned this sport to my British brother in law, who has a great sense of humor. His response was a classic:

"I thought Haggis Hurling was what a Sassenach did when you told them what they'd just eaten."

I haven't missed the Victoria games in years, but I might miss this one because Anna is still recovering from surgery. If she's up to it, we'll be there on the Sunday afternoon.

Here are a couple of pictures from the Clan Torchlight Ceremony on the Friday prior to the games.
First, a Fraser Highlander and Piperdown.


Me, Piperdown's wife (and my sister-in-law) and Mrs. Macman.

Great pictures David.
Brings back happy memories of last year's Clan torchlight ceremony in front of the Legislature building and the games at Topaz Park. Hard to believe it has been a whole year since I last visited the Island.

What a shame, I am currently in Vancouver and will be in Victoria tomorrow, would have loved to have come to the games. So close but yet so far.
