    GMHG 2014 -- Clan Sinclair -- Sunday continued

    There were about 100 clans and societies represented at the Games this year. Here are just a few of the pictures carolinanan117 took of the Parade of Tartans. (She took over 100, so if you want a picture of your clan, PM me.)

    Parading in alphabetical order, my Colquhoun cousin had finished and wanted to go again, so she joined us. In the second picture, I'm heading to the center of the field to fall-in for the Parade of Banners.

    In the first picture below, we are about to start. After we marched past the reviewing stand, we were dismissed before we got to the Clan Sinclair tent, so carolinanan117 had me pose for a picture.

    GMHG 2014 -- Clan Sinclair -- Sunday concluded

    House of Gordon won the Best Clan Tent award. I met XMARKer Donald Ferguson at the Clan Ferguson tent. Could this lad be a future champion?

    Good to hear that House of Gordon won Best Tent award this year. Their former national convener which passed away this past October, Lucretia "Lu" Gordon, was our local Celtic society's president and a good friend of both my and Sarah's. Lu's father, Charles O. Gordon, Sr., was actually one of the men very instrumental in getting thr Grandfather games together in the beginning. I say all of this to say that a portion of the Gordon tent this year was set up as a tribute to Lu.

    Also, Allen, on a lighter note...we began our Scotch hunt tonight, and have not yet found it. We've only checked a few of the smaller stores, though, and have already been told by one they'd have no issue ordering a bottle for us if we can't find it in stock anywhere local.

    Great photos, I have been to GMHG two years ago and enjoyed every minute. Joined XMTS and got my picture taken. Bonnie made me a fly plaid that was first worn at the games. Maybe you can make it to the SMHG this October, the Sinclair Clan is there and would like to see some more cousins. Best regards Mattie
