I dont know, that chap leaning on the cromach does'nt look too bad, particularly as he appears to be an xmarker with a dandelion in his bonnet.

No, No Jock... I believe that chap leaning on the cromach has a passing yellow butterfly stuck to his bonnet and he is oblivious in his joy of breathing fresh air..... LOL

Those in the second photo appear to have been caught in the act of 'Polis tipping'. The traditional highland art of rocking a Police vehicle until it flips on its roof.

Aye. It' like coo tipping but with the payoff of a free room for the night with her majesty's compliments. Lol.

Alright then, is that DetroitPete in the picture smoking the pipe? I well remember discussing a whole heap of things with DP? and a group of others there. A great bunch with a great sense of humour. Actually, I rarely go to Highland Games, but I was there to meet up with xmarks member azwildcat. Hence the bonnet and dandelion. Sadly I failed with that mission, but I did meet up with a great bunch of people from all over the world. Just so you know, in normal circumstance with the weather as it was, I would not have worn a bonnet, but as a "dandelion holder" it works well, -----------------apart from the fact that DP failed to notice it!
Anyway DP, if that was you, it was nice to meet you!

Yes Jock, that was myself I was intently listening. I also found myself many times during this trip, so amazed and beguiled at my surroundings, that I fear I did not speak much--except for the occiasional self questioning as to HOW I managed be be fortunate enough to not only compete at the MWC again, but to spend a week in Scotland. People ask me what it was like, and I am still too dumbstruck to find the proper words. I had the fortune of being in Inverness for all of the events scheduled around the games; made a side trip to Culloden and finished up in Edinburgh. This was simply the experience of a lifetime.

Well blow me down! How about that? Anyway, I am glad that you had a great time and we managed to lay on some very un-Scottish September weather too! Apart from your good self and azwildcat, were there any other xmarkers present at the games? Here's to a longer conversation next time!

Fluffiest butterfly I ever saw enjoying the chap's bonnet as he is enjoying the day. But it could be the species "XMarkus Dandelionus."
