Lady Chrystel at Highland games !

[Alan H]

If you decided to come all the way out to the West Coast of the USA, the obvious choice is the Pleasanton Games, which is the first weekend in September. Total attendance is something like 20,000 - 25,000 people over the weekend.

But is this the BEST single Games in the USA to attend? That's a tough question. Grandfather Mountain and Stone Mountain would be tough to beat.

I haven't experienced enough games to know which is best, but selfishly, I hope you choose Grandfather Mountain because it would be great to meet you both, and see those beautiful kilts first hand.

Robert, that is exciting news! From what I am told Grandfather is the largest ‘Highland Games” this side of the pond. This website states the attendance in 2008 was 30,000. You would also be fairly close to Franklin NC the home the Scottish Tartans Museum. It is a however in a remote area. Whereas, Stone Mountain Highland Games would put you nearer a larger metropolitan area, Atlanta. So where is the largest population of kilt wears in the US? Look forward to the possibility of seeing you guys this side of the pond. What an exciting undertaking you are embarking upon!
