That looks like a Colquhoun Ancient to me! I used to be that skinny.

One thing I like about their catalogs is this:


We've made many friends at the Games tent (and maybe one or two points closer to that coveted "Best Clan Tent" award) by giving a stranger a catalog like this with a picture of a sample of the tartan they're looking for or maybe a tartan that we've just helped them discover. It promotes yourself, it promotes the games you're at, it promotes a vendor, and it promotes good will which is what it's all about.

Ligonier Highland Games

Coming September 11, 2010. We had a couple named Kirkpatrick for several years represent us at these games. They had the most beautiful tent in the pictures they sent us.

I think both of them were teachers, but whoever was in charge of setting up the tent had some interior decorating talent.

Barclays Scottish Open

Now being played at the Loch Lomond Golf Club.

There's a great picture of Rossdhu on their web page.

We made The Highlander again!

Upcoming Festivals and Highland Games

Normally I would be in Savannah next weekend, but due to a medical condition I won't be able to make it. The Savannah Games don't offer tents already set up so I don't think I can make the drive, set up my own tent, etc. You can find which games we're at on the Clan Colquhoun Games and Events Calendar.

Mike and Starr Walker will be at Gatlinburg the weekend of May 15th.

Two weekends later Darlene Parker will be at Greensboro, SC.

This event will also host His Royal Highness The Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex as a Distinguished Guest.




The weekend of June 12th one of us will be at Blairsville, GA. It's only 2 hours away from us. If I can throw some tartan material over a table with a bare bones tent set up, I think I can limp out there.

Beth Calhoun of Raleigh will be at the Grandfather Mountain, NC games again. Thanks, Beth! It's always held the 2nd weekend in July.


Held every 3rd weekend of July is the Elizabeth Celtic Festival in Colorado. We're hoping to have a tent there, too.

Thanks to Steve and Mary Hudson for representing us at the Loch Norman/Rural Hill gathering last month. Here's Steve with his new friend "Tinkerbell":

Clan Colquhoun March

By the band "Fairway".

Maid Of The Loch

I can't remember how long ago I received this in the mail. The Maid Of The Loch has apparently been restored now.
