DescriptionWe were at the Highland Games for the first time, July 2010, at Tobermory. It was a wonderful day, which made a great impression on us, and we are going again this July. Remembering this spectacle always gives me a lump in my throat.

Proud men
Piping, watching, marching
To the games
The head
Leading the way
Up steep hills
The pipes play on.

Hi Jeanna
Nice piece - like a couple of haiku - so much said in so few words.
I know Tobermory on the magical Isle of Mull - a beautiful place - they do a lovely single malt as well - one of the older distilleries. Will always remember the Main Street - lovely line of multicoloured shops and hotel - and the old Victorian Hotel, as you say - 'up the steep hill'. What an island - they say it's all of Scotland in miniature !
We've visited Scotland almost every year since 1990 - unfortunately this year we're passing - it was very cold last year in May.
So really I do empathise with your anticipation - hope you've a great time !
Enjoyed - it brings back such.
Cheers
John
