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.
