It was an early day for me as I woke up at 5 a.m. to meet up with Nathan in Ajax On. to take the ride to Kingston for the Scottish Festival. We had a wonderful drive and conversation it made the drive seem quicker than it really was. Arriving at our destination we unpacked the Quaich and met up with Farmer Jones and Crash, as it was nigh on 10:30 the Quaich was promptly pressed into service.

The caber toss such as it was.
There was of course Highland dancing as well.
And pipe bands
The next post will start our adventure in Kingston itself. As Kingston Ontario has such a rich history it was Nathan who suggested we take the Quaich to the statue of Sir John A MacDonald, Canada's First Prime Minister.
