Yes, its not been the best of weather for Scottish events this year. The Scottish Pipe Band Championships in Dumbarton was spoiled by the rain and mud. Our local games here in Hawick were curtailed by the mud though at least the rain stayed off for the afternoon. Ann and I are planning our annual week in Lochaber, hoping to take in the Lochearnhead Highland Games at Balquhidder next Saturday (21st) while passing through en route to Spean Bridge, then the Arisaig games on 25th July. Hoping for better weather.
