2012 Glasgow (Kentucky) Highland Games

Yes, spent quite a bit of time with Lord Caithness and my old friend Charles McKerrell of Hillhouse. Oh, and Romily Squire.

Wonderful! Then, I am sure that you had a nice time in Glasgow. I wasn't aware that Romily Squire was present at the games. It sounds like Glasgow Highland Games is pretty grand event to be and to be seen. Hmmm, I think Stephanie and I will be busy with attending games and gatherings this time next year!

Cheers,

Romily is a frequent visitor to the Games, as is the Baron of Cowdeknowes.

The SSA (Society of Scottish Armigers), of which both the forementioned gentlemen are members, has a 'clan tent' for armigers to gather at if their own clan does not have representation at the Games.

Sorry I missed Glasgow (and Caithness, he's worth a guinea a minute in my book). Did Dunrossil make it up from Texas? I met him for the first time at Greenville and he's another first rate chap.

Boy, have I been missing out! I can't wait to attend some of these games to have the opportunity and distinct pleasure of meeting these fine men.

Oh yes, I forgot Dunrossil! I met him for the first time last week. Great chap! He'll make a superb chairman of the SSA.
I share your opinion of Caithness, too--as does Sara.

Thanks for posting those great photos!

I have an old friend who moved back to the Lexington area and plays with The Kentucky United Pipes and Drums.

They wear the Kentucky tartan, which as you can see looks much better in the actual fabric and made up into kilts than it does in that little computer generated swatch.

Did you happen to get any photos of them?

I did snap a couple of pictures of Kentucky United. I believe your friend has his back to us in the first photo.





And here are a couple of the piping judges:



And the best dressed athlete at the Games:



And then this poor fellow who was just trying not to get stepped on:

Sara was there too?! Aw man, Stephanie and I really missed out this time around! Hahaha!

Thanks! I love that Kentucky tartan.

Yes my friend is the guy with the big grey muttonchop whiskers.
