A man in a kilt....... finish the phrase.
While attending the Pitlochry Highland
games (September 8th 2018) recently I found myself surrounded by six
lovely lassies from Germany, curious to know what a Scottish festival was all
about and what the most important event was. I pointed out that the most important
events were equally the pipe bands, the dancers and the athletes. These events
are essentially what a Scottish festival is all about. At these games there was
also track and field events and cycling competitions but as I said not as
important as the first three. Here in Scotland there are hardly any clan tents
set up and no music tents. Believe it or not I was only one of a handful of
spectators wearing a kilt not including the dancers, pipe bands and athletes. I
will later on this week write more about the Pitlochry Games on my blog on my
website www.carl-peterson.com. It is
by the way the last Scottish festival of the season in Scotland and it finished
with a bang, lovely weather, 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky to start the
day. More later.
