    Lots of stalls selling everything. This one selling traditional sweets.


    Competing bands had to store their gear under cover because of intermittent rain showers. Alex has a story to tell about this particular band from Calgary Alberta.


    Not all piping. There was also highland dancing.


    I don't know anything about it but was very impressed by the agility it takes to dance around the crossed swords.


    Heavy athletics, this the 56lb weight. This guy is a Polish chap called Sebastian Wenta who is very well known on the Games circuit. Both he and his brother Lukasz seemed to be cleaning up on most of the events.


    Two man axel lift.


    Two man, overhead log lift.

    As well as the Pipeband Championships it was also a splendid festival of Kilts too. With that we wandered back to the car and headed out of Glasgow for Dumfries. I didn't take me long to shed my jacket and tie in the carpark for the drive south. Much more comfortable in my comfy shoes.


    We stopped for a brew at Cairn Lodge services Happendon, Probably the best garden feature of any services anywhere in the world.


    This was our ultimate destination.
