Peebles Highland Games

After admiring those dancers I must say it is refreshing to know the games in Scotland are so much more traditional than those here in the heathen United States. At all the games I have been to here the dancers have been kilted. How quaint.

Another great set of pics, Alex! That's a handsome tower next to the field and a beautiful location over-all. I must get to Peebles one day; my Veitch ancestors came from the area.

Love all the pics, Alex. What tartan are you wearing in the one above?

Ah, I can hear the pipes now!

...oh wait, let me turn off the stereo.

Those are great action shots of the heavies Alex. I will get up to one of these sometime. Probably next year now though.

Well done, Alex. Great pics. It was good to meet up wth with you again.

And you got the heavies in action. Fantastic.

One small request - when the Germans beat us, please delete the photo !

Great photos Alex.

I also noted that your Highland Dancers tend to dress down a bit compared to here in the States.

I also noted that most of the attendees and pipe bands wore clan tartans as opposed to district or fashion tartans. Reminds me of a few discussions we've had on the board of late.
