Prescott Highland Games

[Scratchy's Lass]

Jay will probably wear his new Black Stewart:



and I will likely be in black jeans and one of those celtic screen-print tops, green design. (Unfortunately, left my Anderson tartan skirt in the To Be Drycleaned bin down in Phx.)

Hope we can meet up with everyone!!

I am so jealous of all of you, have a great time, for those competing throw hard and for those with the inclination hoist one for me.

IDEM !!!

Wife, baby (kilted of course) and I made it out there for a while today, but I guess we missed the gathering of the Sonoran Scotsmen as we arrived a bit after the opening ceremonies (had to feed and change the baby) and then could not find any "covered bleachers" to congregate behind. So we were on our own for fish, shrimp and chips and cruising the vendors, band tent, and dancers, and wathcing the pipeband mini-concert. Great time, even though we couldn't keep the little guy out in the heat for too long. Sorry we missed everybody -- again. Another time.

Same here, I was out and about, but didn't meet up with anyone.

It was much nicer than I expected, and I found out that the president of the Games is Clan Robertson!

Also, the Chief of Clan McBain was there. A surprise.

[ForresterModern]

Yeah, I saw the feather too. Cool.

I'm busy processing pics to post right now. I'll have the first batch tonight. We ran into Riverkilt, and some of the Sonoran Scotsmen. I saw Jay, but didn't know who he was. I got a few pictures of Keys competing.We met up at the tail end of the gathering of the Sonoran Scotsmen at Brian's Irish pub later, and had a delightful dinner with Retro Red and his wife at the Raven Cafe.

Only had about an hour there before we had to head up the hill. Ran into Darin (?) and friend on the way out.

Managed to score another Order of the Gael hangar for my Antarctic tartan kilt that hopefully will be en route...and a Gordon kilt pin for my new Gordon kilt.

And, hey, I was there with two ladies as promised. B.Somm and our red haired friend Alene who lives in Prescott and would LOVE to meet a single kilted man in the area...

Such a motley crew!! Pics turned out great Ron!

I was hoping to meet up with Scratchy & Scratchy's Lady, but they were running late, so I missed them.


Tattoo Bradley: Yep, that's the Burns tartan! I have a sash in the smaller checks, but came across a vendor at the Phoenix Games who does hand woven tartans and they had the Burns tartan in the larger checks. I had never seen the larger version before and their work was beautiful, so Needless to say, I just had to have one of their scarves, which turned out great! I'd love to see what a kilt looks like in the larger checks!

[Riverkilt]

Aye, that is the Burns check scarf. Think B. Somm hooked you with that a few months ago too.

A proud tartan for sure.
