Ballater Highland Games

I spent all day yesterday helping out at the Games. We were lucky, we've had a fairly rainy 6 weeks, but got beautiful weather for the Games. Warm, but not too much direct sun. Perfect conditions and a great crowd! Back to rain this morning!

It's great that even the weather had a holiday. Great tradition and beautiful capture.

[Pat Knowles]

A magnificent sight……goose bumps time! Nothing like the swirl of the bagpipes! I used to love the Glenfinnan Highland Gathering which always coincided with our holidays up there. Must be great helping out even if hard work.

[Kathy]

Glad the weather was good for the men and women in the fur hats and woolens. Stirring to me to see the pipes band. (fond childhood memories)

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[Issi Bannerman]

@Dawn Ah, how lovely. I love a pipe band.

[Dawn]

[Margaret Brown]

Super capture, love the kilts!

[Sarah Bremner]

Beautiful....the sight and sound of the pip bands are stunning no matter how many times you have seen them.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I would love to see them! And the pipes would have me crying- the sound goes right through me- just as they did for my mom. Scotland the Brave!

[Marloes]

Looks so great. I love these traditions. How nice that you were lucky with a bit of sun:)

[Mary Siegle]

What a scene that must have been, and what luck to have the good weather for the games.

[LManning (Laura)]

Terrific capture. As a one-time (very long ago!) competitive highland dancer, this lifts my heart.

[Issi Bannerman]

@ljmanning Ah, we have something in common! I too was a competitive highland dancer - I danced from age 4 to about 27. I could still throw out a few dances now (some you never forget) and I'm sure you could too. I might not be able to walk the next day though! Ha ha!
