The lassies who come to admire the kilted hunks taking part in the heavy events can also be a delight to the eye.

So too, a smile from a girl piper or drummer can brighten up the day.

Who will win the contest for best dressed Drum Major?

Thats all from me today. Can't believe that's Scotland's Highland Games season all but over already for 2008.

Wow, lots of pipe bands! But a lot more blue jeans than I would've thought in the crowd.

And you're right, I can't believe the Games season is over already!
