Highland Games


A couple of weekends ago we drove up to Braemar to see the annual Highland Games. These are games that a lot of the villages here have every summer. There are events like the hammer throw, tug-of-war, highland dancing, foot races, sack races, battle of the bands (of which I've tried to include a short videoof one pipe band warming up), and the one we attended had a type of mountain race where the runners had to run to the top of the mountain and back down. We were quite impressed with this race as there were runners who seemed to be in their 70's. The Queen also attends these particular games, but we left before her arrival. Adalyn would do her "more" sign when the bands would stop playing. We had a great time!
