Stone Mountain Highland Games

I may actually be able to make it too. My wife and I are going to the NASCAR race on the 29th (Sunday) and I believe, if memory serves, that the games are that weekend.

I'd actually suggest meeting at the Clan MacBubba tent on Saturday, as they are sponsors of this site (see links page), AND the designers of the famous X Marks pin.

It's the weekend before.... 21st and 22nd of October.

Oh well, I have to work that weekend . . . Guess I'll miss that one too this year

Also, MacBubba won't have a tent there. The uptight organizers won't let them get one, though if one remembered correctly who the chief of the games is this year, there will be a MacBubba IN THE SEAT IF HONOR!!! (Tom, Becky, Ron and crew will probably be with them most of the day)

It would be great if we could put together some sort of gathering for the X-marks clan.

I'll be there, hopefully both days but Saturday for sure. I may also do the malt seminar and pipeband competition friday PM. I'll be around the Iordon tent. I'll look for you at the Lamont, or the Campbell? And by what name? And did you find the Scotch selection adequate at Roswell Beverage.

I am also planning on a day at the Loch Hartwell games two weeks before SMHG as a warm-up.

EDIT: Whoops, guess I double-posted rather than looking to see the original post date. My offer below still stands, KCW.

If you have to decide at the last minute and can't find a hotel, PM me and I may have a alternative hospitality situation to offer.

I've done tampa to north atlanta in 7 hours.

I plan on working at the Lamont Clan Tent on Saturday with Southern Scot.

Yes, I did check out Roswell Beverage this past weekend, they do have a great selection of single malts, they have several in stock I haven't seen on the shelf anywhere else. The Glenlivet 12 is priced right too! I appreciate the tip.

Turpin and others,

As Cawdorian stated, we will be working the Clan Lamont tent on Saturday. I will also be there on Sunday if anyone wants to come by. Just ask for Scot. If I can swing it, I'll have a sign or something with XMarksTheScot on it.

No takers for the pub outing after the games on Saturday I posted previously?

Cawdorian, How much is the Glenlivet 12? It used to be a lot more expensive than what I'm finding it for these days on the south side of Atlanta.

Sorry - I'll have the family with - I think, and they'll probably be wiped out by then. cavscout suggested friday nite, which may work for me. I hope to get to the whiskey seminar and piping friday pm, so i'd be in that vicinity then, and unencumbered, so to speak.

**KiltedCodeWarrior** · 7th September 06, 01:32 PM

Turpin, thanks for the offer. Plans are still up in the air. If we all come, then we will bring the trailer and camp at the SM campground. If I just come by myself, I may just go for broke and see what I can get close to the games. I will let you know as it gets closer.

Anybody know how soon the campground gets booked up? Am I already SOL on that one?

**fhpdo** · 8th September 06, 01:06 AM

I'll be there competing on Friday...assisting the field judges on Saturday and may try to catch the clinic on Sunday...will check back to this post before the games and look some of you guys up. I look forward to meeting some of you guys.
