Alice Calhoun's movie playing. I explained how I set this up in the post about the Savannah Games held in the spring.
One thing I've been trying is to gather to one spot all the pictures and paraphernalia about one subject. In addition to the pictures for Rossdhu there's the Loch Lomond shortbread tin, the Old Rossdhu t shirt for sale, and a copy of Executive Golfer with the Manor/Clubhouse on the front.
I've taken some of the individual pictures of Sir Iain Colquhoun and tried to put them in one big frame. At the bottom of this frame is a copy of "Highland Gatherings" visitors can pick up and look through plus two volumes of "Sir Iain in The Scotsman newspaper."
I found about 100 pages from articles on Sir Iain in The Scotsman. The first mention I found of him was in 1910 when his father Sir Alan died. Sir Iain's name is misspelled in the 3rd paragraph from the bottom on the page above.
The note written to Sir Iain above was from King George VI (the current Queen's father). George VI had just ascended to the throne in 1936 after his older brother's abdication. He is the second eldest son of George V (pictured above in "Highland Gatherings").
Mostly Sean Well's family (Rachel belongs to our presidents son).
Dr. Liz used to work with Sharon when she was invited out to the festival one year. Dr. Liz liked it so well she volunteered for the Clan MacMedic. She normally doesn't handle emergency room situations but she's had several experiences at the games, including restarting another lady's heart two years ago. Dr. Liz has no Scottish affiliations, but we're proud to adopt her as a Colquhoun. She wears our tartan and marches with us in the Parade on Sunday.
Mike Cahoon "came home" to Stone Mountain to visit this year. Mike sets up tents for us in the Northwest now. He's with Mickey Kennedy.
Tom Hewett came by to get his new Heritage Of Scotland kilt christened.
We don't know who these mothers were, but we liked their clothing and grabbed them to pose as they were walking by.
The copy of "Highland Gatherings" we have out is actually a photocopy of the 1927 book. Across from the title page is a photo of a kilted King George V.

Beth Gay of Beth's Newfangled Family Tree and Richard Halliley (past president of Clan Davidson). Beth makes the rounds to each clan tent with a "little red wagon" full of goodies. Richard, Jane (Kirkpatrick), and son James are often our "roomates" where ever we're staying for the games as they were this weekend.
