Highland Games at Grandfather Mountain



The Highland Games at Grandfather Mountain is an annual event for Scots, the descendants of Scots, and those who just wish they were Scots. It’s a weekend of athletic events, concerts, and camping. Mom, dad, Sam and I went this year. I saw everything from men in kilts throwing telephone poles around, to men in kilts screaming and beating on drums. My favorite band was Albannach. Their music is classified under Celtic Battle Music and that pretty well sums it up. We had a great time and can't wait for next year.
