    More From Grandfather Mountain

    Thursday Night I was invited to participate in the Calling of the Clans to announce the presence of Clan MacRae. The fog set in for the evening, this was the main field just before sunset:



    The ceremony consists of each clan representative coming out with a torch, announcing the presence of the clan, then the torch is placed in a Saltire in the middle of the field.



    When all the clans have announced their presence, the clan representatives all join hands while a blessing is given.



    Friday Heavy athletics start with the stone thow



    Took a break and listened to Barleyjuice.



    And of course the Games would not be the same without border collies:



    And more heavy athletics:




    Missed a photo of the young man wearing a kilt to his ankles, but did capture the fairy (at least with a camera)



    Twelve X-Markers together. Is this a record?




    More to come.

    In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism, it's your Count that votes.
