    Victoria Highland Games 2010

    Here are a few pictures from our highland games held on the Victoria Day weekend.

    Here is me in my front yard in full rig for Saturday's massed bands.


    On Sunday, some of our band members made up the haggis-bearing party.


    They let me hold a sharp thingee.


    Some of my family in the beer garden.


    Anybody else with any pictures?

    Lovely pics.
    I can just imagine the atmosphere. Last time I was in Victoria, Steve showed me the site where your games are held.
    I must try to time a visit to Victoria for when the games are on. My family are always asking why my visits have never managed to co-incide with the games.
    God willing I shall be back in Victoria next March and should see you again then.

    Steve and I, alas, took no photos during the game (we were really busy). But we admired Macman's rig from close and afar. Alex, if you are planning on visiting during the games, March won't cut it. The Victoria Highland Games are on the long weekend in May.

    And if you time it right perhaps we can entice you to pop just across the border to visit our local games in Bellingham (Ferndale) the 1st weekend of June

    Great pics.
    Good looking rig, Mac.
    Looking to attend the Victoria games some year. After all, they names them after me.

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
