At the end of the day the three pipe bands gathered in front of the Dunsmuir House to play together en mass

The pipe major from the Irish pipe band was chosen to play the solo on Amazing Grace, he performed it overhead from the balcony of the Dunsmuir house



It was quite stirring when the three bands joined in



Our family had never attended the Dunsmuir Games before and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. We will will certainly be returning next year.




I'll end this post with one last picture I took of the house's old swimming pool

I'm not much of a photographer but I found it a very poignant to see this place of water, sun, mirth, and vitality left cracked, dry, broken, and forgotten.





How long ago since children splashed and laughed here?

It gave me greater appreciation of the efforts made to preserve the Dunsmuir House itself for future generations.

Cheers
