Grandfather Mt. Highland Games

As of now, we plan to be there on Sunday. Have we set up a meeting place/time yet? I think I'll bring a bottle of Bruichladdich with me. Maybe we can get together and have a nice whisky tasting, huh?

Hope to see all who attend Grandfather this weekend. I'll be manning the Fraser tent Friday, Saturday and Sunday and may not get much of a chance to roam but please stop by and say hello. We'll be near the main entrance somewhere around tent 14 or 15 as you walk to the right. The weather forecast is looking a bit iffy right now but up on the mountain you have to be ready for anything, any time. See ya there!

Okay, I have reread the post, but am still not sure about the meeting place and time for Saturday. HELP. My wife and I will be there.

I just wanted to post a quick and heartfelt "Thanks" to all those who attended the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and gave Barleyjuice such a wonderful reception. The "Southern Hospitality" is no myth!

Apart from the work that we had to do... the people were MORE than hospitable, giving, and well natured.

When you're invited to attend these festivities in the future, please make the effort to do it for you AND your family. The entire weekend is well-run, well-organized, and hosted with the attendee in mind.

Just remember that if you choose NOT to wear a kilt (and Lord knows why you would do something so dumb) you will be in the minority!!!

I can't speak for the rest of the XMarks attendees, but I felt that BarleyJuice was by far the most exciting band on the bill all weekend. No disrespect to Albanach, but they come up every year, and (personal opinion here, don't get your feathers ruffled) all their tunes begin to sound alike after a while (and their fan-base are downright annoying).

Jimmy and the boys tore it up good, and I hope they can find a way to be in this area again very soon! Perhaps this Nancy lass will come along next time too, eh?

Look carefully behind the Barleyjuice Merchandise Table next time to see the rather tall and lovely red-headed lass that "will drink you on your ****!" That's the infamous Nancy (Drinks Tequila).

Really? Well, next time around, I will have to get a photo taken with the lovely Nancy, and an autograph! I'll fill my flask with good tequila first!

Hi everyone, we played at grandfather mountain last year and loved it. We had other commitments this year but hope to be back on the mountain sometime soon.

Cheers
Jesse and MacTalla Mor
