    Calgary Highland Games - Aug 31st

    Calgary held their 100th Highland Games last Saturday. I volunteered for a shift working the "Gate", putting appropriate coloured wrist bands on attendees. Here are a few pics:

    Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.

    I've seen snow in Calgary every month of the year. Fortunately the weather this year was a comfortable 25 deg. C....

    cheers...Bill
