    Spokane Highland Games 2007

    The Spokane Highland Games have come and gone for this year and with cool temperatures and lots to do it was a big success. Lets take a look...


    A decent crowd was on hand for the opening ceremonies.


    The mass band got things off to a rousing start.


    Each clan entered to the applause of the crowd


    And our very own Kiltman addressed the crowd

    The Scottish Country Dance group proved the grown-ups were not to be outdone!





    The vendor tents were busy all day long





    Plenty of folks were interested in finding their Scots roots

    The pipe bands competed and then finished off the day playing sets for the crowd









    It was great to see so many young people involved in the bands!









    It was a great day to be a Scot in Spokane!
