Crieff Highland Games

26 August 2009

I was in Scotland a week or so ago, visiting friends during the weekend of the local highland games. As I’d never seen the event before, we decided to make a day of it. Luckily for us (and everyone else there) the rain just about kept off and the sun even made its appearance for a few hours. A lovely day was had, as well as some great photographs.

Not a traditional highland game, but this freestyle motorbike team was amazing to watch nonetheless.

Stuart - As one of the friends who Tamara visited, and as someone who was at the Games, I should point out that the last picture is NOT photoshopped. They did that for real!

Essjay - I am delighted you enjoyed the games in their historic venue of the Market Park in Crieff. Sadly, the “Games Committee” , an unelected group who by historical accident now “own” the Market Park, sadly, they don’t value it. Or rather, they no longer value the location having been lured into a property deal with the promise of monetary gain, whereby they would sell the park and allow a supermarket to be built upon it.
They claim they receive no personal financial gain, and that as part of the deal a new “improved” games venue would be built outside the town.
This would mean the loss of the central Market Park, part of Crieffs heritage, the home of the Highland Games, and its replacement. by a supermarket.
The Games Committee (aka company “directors” of a private limited company…..) have demonstrated breathtaking arrogance and conceit in their stated belief that “they know best” for the town.
Greed , Corruption, Criminal, Underhand, Deceitful, Illegal. You decide .6 November 2009 – 23:10
