    From my vantage point, Prince Edward's visit was a great success. Congratulations and hearty thanks all around to the folks who did the hard work and planning (three years worth) so that he would agree to make the first-ever royal visit to a US highland games. Everyone appeared to have a very enjoyable time and the Prince was very gracious to put up with the heat, humidity, and the "different" way that Highland Games are done here in the States. Worrying about what clothes he wore seems a little short-sighted to me.

    The Earl of Caithness, the chief of the Greenville Games, was present wearing traditional Highland attire as one would expect. In my mind, one earl wearing a kilt out of two isn't too shabby...

    Cordially,

    David
