    Pix Grandfather Mountain Highland Games 2010

    Okay, guys I've just read on another thread alot of excuses why you have no pix to post of the Grandfather Mountain Games. Here's my mine. These were taken Friday.

    My first order of business is always to buy a stuffed lamb for my wife as my gift to her for giving her blessing to attend a festival. Piperdbh had suggested to me the day before when we were hiking near Marion, I should visit the Lockhart tent for the purchase. His advice was right on!

    I'm having some difficulties in posting photos and as it is late, I will resume posting on this thread later, today.

    Thanks, Ern, for supporting my clan with your sheep purchase. The proceeds go into a scholarship fund for clan members who wish to study Scottish history, music, dancing, Gaelic, and/or other aspects of Scottish heritage. Sorry I missed you on Sunday.

    KF Carter with his Chief, John Alexander MacArthur



    With the recommendation of Cajun Scot and David Pope, I’ve been reading Celeste Ray’s Highland Heritage. During last night’s thunder storm, I read about the history of the Grandfather Mountain’s Games and the instrumental part Donald MacDonald played in establishing them.

    Here I am with Donald MacDonald obtaining a signed copy of his book, America’s Braemar, the story of the Grandfather Mountain’s Games.
