The 37th Scottish Games were held 20 September 2008 at Boone Hall Plantation. This is an event that anyone, not just Scottish, should attend. I had a blast and would recommend that you find out when the local games are in your region.
I spent about 5 hours at the games moving around from one event to another. If I had only one complaint is that the Clans had tents set up around the main field. This made it VERY difficult for the fans to get a clear view of the different games.
Below is but a few of the pictures that I took walking around. I ended up taking about 500 pictures throughout the day. Enjoy…
