Greenville Scottish Games

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Barely a month away, this year's games is already shaping up to be another not-to-be-missed event. Starting at 6PM on Friday, May 27th, with a parade down Main Street followed by a ceili kicking off at 8; Saturday, the 28th, offers the usual high standard of athletic events, more than 50 clan tents, historic reenactors, and a great assortment of quality vendors. This year, in addition to the more than 500 pipers and drummers in the massed bands, the Greenville Scottish Games are host to the Band of the United States Marine Corps, as well as an Honour Guard from the Royal Highland Fusiliers (just back from Afghanistan), and a fly-by of F-16s... as in past years the profits of the games go to charity, and this year the donations go to The Wounded Warrior Project and to The Erskine Hospital, in Scotland.

So mark your calendar for the best one-day games in America, and plan to come early and stay late!
