Loch Lomond Highland Games 2024 cancelled

[Jimmy]

What a pity, Loch Lomond Highland Games have been cancelled this year 2024 as West Dunbartonshire Council have withdrawn funding.
Sometimes these councils would have us living in a cultural desert in Scotland

[Kiltedjohn]

Very sad news. So many councils in the U.K. are in serious financial trouble.

[figheadair]

Sad that it's cancelled but I'm not sure it's really the Council's (for which read local tax payers) responsibility to support what is, in essence, a commercial venture.

[Hirsty]

Trickle down poverty stemming from the Tories austerity.

[Jimmy]

Yes, you are correct , the austerity programme from Cameron and Osborne has been a complete disaster for the whole of the UK, lots of people in Scotland love to blame the SNP but although they are not entirely without fault , the poverty in Scotland didn't originate from them

[Jock Scot]

Come off it chaps, “When in a glass house one should not throw stones!”

Recent Scottish financial governance has hardly shown itself in a shining light, now has it? Far from it.

Can we now get back to tartans and kilts, please.
