Highland Games in Scotland

[davidlpope]

How many different clan tents are usually at a Highland Games *IN* Scotland? I was at the games in Newtonmore and there was only the McPherson tent and at the games in Halkirk, there were two tents, the Gunns and the Sinclairs.

Few have clan tents. Though it's been quite a while, the last time I went to Scotland the Games had no clan tents. I suspect that it is an Americanism ( though not a bad one) that has emigrated to Scotland. They're more common at Diaspora-targeted events, like The Homecoming.
