Tug o’ War Satisfaction #Flickrapp

In just a little over two weeks the MacLarens will compete again in the Lochearnhead Highland Games. Unfortunately, I can’t be there myself, so I hope to see a lot of great photos of my kinsmen in action!

Beating the MacGregors

Clan MacLaren doing an excellent job at the Lochearnhead Highland Games last year. I couldn’t be there this year either, but they informed me we beat the MacGregors in the Tug of War, so it was a good day. 🙂

One day I might actually join in the fun!

While I’m packing for my next Scottish adventure, here’s another photo of kilted me. This one was taken during the Highland games at Hoeilaart (I’m the guy on the right, obviously).

Unlike Highland games in Scotland and the rest of the world, in most Highland games in Belgium the contestants are competing in teams, or ‘clans’ as they like to call them… Here, the Tug o’ War is not a separate competition, but rather one of the most important events of the Highland Games.
