    No sorry, but I was at Halkirk a couple of weeks ago, staying at the Ulbster Arms hotel, whilst fishing(well, giving my brother some unhelpful advice) on the river Thurso.

    No, sorry, I have never been to these games.
    However the chairman of our games here in Hawick has been a few times to Halkirk and he has told me the Halkirk games are very popular and bring a lot of visitors into an area which is sparsely populated. Halkirk is only a few miles inland from the seaports of Wick or Thurso, each of which have a few thousand inhabitants and have a few good quality small hotels.
