By the way, Braemar is titled a "Gathering" not a Games.

Alan, raises a very good point. I have been to the Braemar Gathering many years ago and other games too, but in all honesty they are not really my thing. For me, I really enjoy the venue of the Blair Atholl gathering and games, but from memory they are held rather earlier than your schedule may allow.
