The Spokane Highland Games have come and gone for this year and with cool temperatures and lots to do it was a big success. Lets take a look...

A decent crowd was on hand for the opening ceremonies.

The mass band got things off to a rousing start.

Each clan entered to the applause of the crowd

And our very own Kiltman addressed the crowd

Thank goodness for a few encouraging words!

The Scottish Country Dance group proved the grown-ups were not to be outdone!

The vendor tents were busy all day long

Plenty of folks were interested in finding their Scots roots

A small but dedicated group of athletes competed throughout the day

He turned it over... 12 o'clock!

There were lots of other things to do...

The sheepdog demonstration was amazing...
