Europian Highland games

Date: 14 Oct 2009 Comments: 2 so far

Well we recently attended the european highland games, not that we are avid followers, it just happens to be held in Bressuire our nearest town, the toss the caber event was going well, nail biting as only 2 of the many contenders had got through, then disaster struck! one buy snapped a caber so they had to stop the event and give everyone a clear pass to the final the following day as they der not continue as they had no spare cabers.

      I have tossed a caber before and I dont think it would be a thing that anyone could foresee snapping.
      I see from the photos that they are wearing Kilts just like they do in Scotland at our Highland Games.
      I had no idea that our Allies in 2 World Wars had things and events akin to Highland Games and I wonder if they gotr the idea from we Scots, or whether a Scot was the founding Father of the Games in Bressuire.
      Were there any competitors from Ecosse taking part.
      One more question, did they have Highland Dancing like we do, or what ever the French equivalent is.
      I know that in the past we Scots, and the French had very close links, so maybe thats when they started with the Highland Games thing.
