Ballater Highland Games

Not a great image, but the scene from where I was standing yesterday, at the Ballater Games. One of only 2 quick snaps I took, whilst guarding the entrance to the Patrons and Sponsors Enclosure. People try everything to sneak into an area that most know they shouldn't be in! ;-)

We were lucky with the weather; warm in the morning, overcast in the afternoon and a rain shower towards the end of the day.

A colourful scene. great with the contrast of the traditional and the sign of the times with the bouncy castles.. Have to have your 'Growly face' on..

Wish I could hear them. Looks like a “candy Christmas cottage” in the background. Glad the weather cooperated.

I love to hear the bagpipes. A stirring look at the band as they march across the parade field.
