All Hana wanted to see the whole time we were in Scotland were the Highland Dancers. We drove the length and breadth of Scotland - from the borders, past Glasgow, to Edinburgh, Falkirk, Stirling, across the Firth of Forth, to Kingussie, Inverness, Loch Ness, over the Highlands to Gairloch, Shieldaig, over to the Isle of Skye, down through Kyle of Lochalsh, along Loch Linnhe, and around Loch Lomond - and do you think there were any Highland Dancers to be found?? Not a one! Until on the absolute, very last day we were in Scotland, we got an inside tip about Highland Games being held at the Battle of Bannockburn in Stirling, where we had been the week before.
So Andrew, the good dad that he his, got a map from the visitors' centre and we headed off in search of dancers. It was a lucky break - one of the best days of our whole trip!
What a relief - Highland Dancers!
Not only did we find dancers, but we got to see true Scottish Highland games (even better than the World's Strongest Man competition).
The famous caber toss.
Tug of war - surprisingly exciting.
Bale toss - this hardly looks safe.
And here is Lane's favorite - the marching soldiers.

NO STINKIN WAY! Better than worlds strongest man? How fun! I bet it would be so great to see that stuff in person!
Cute Andrew to please sweet Hana! I wanna see the dancers too!
I'm jealous! Chuck and I were just talking last night about going back to the UK--our week in Scotland was my favorite.
