    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!

    Pictures like this make me wish I'd gone back for the MWC!

    That's TWO Highland Games for you this year, Jock!

    Yes Alan, I think that is probably enough Highland Games for me now. Well, for a decade or so anyway.
