    Jock Scot, you may get a little more clan participation than you're used to at the Inverness games. I saw the newly formed AHCS (association of highland clans and societies) will be in attendance. They may have multiple clans involved but don't be too alarmed because I'm sure the Clan members will be Scots with a Scottish perspective.

    Thank you for that. Actually I think the one you are talking about is not the one I am planning to go to! Apparently there are two Games in Inverness this year and yes, it does show that I hardly keep up to date with these things! Anyway, I am planning on going to the one on the 19th of this month to meet up with our very own Alan H.

    I can see what you are saying, but when all said and done the admittedly seemingly outdated cromach wielding, blanket clad, Clan Chief is all part and parcel of the Highland games scene---it is theatre after all----- and personally, I think it would be a poorer event without them. As a cromach wielder myself and I have done it all my adult my life, I have to say that they do have genuine practical uses and even more so at my time of life!
