I would be interested in finding out how highland games ended up in the Czech Republic. One doesn't think of that as a hotbed of Scots immigrants.

It's all down to the organiser Vaclav (Vasek) Rout, a Czech/German scotophile and piper. The first games were in 2000 when he just got a bunch of his mates together to produce the first ever. Since then it's been going from strength to strength and, although I haven't been for a couple of years due to other commitments, it's the best fun ever.

The date this year is the 16th of this month, still time to plan getting there!!
