This years\u2019 game had the added theme of a tribute to our Military Heroes.\u00a0 One of the highlights of the tribute was the Royal Highland Fusiliers just recently returned from Afghanistan.\u00a0 The Royal Highland Fusiliers (Princess Margaret\u2019s own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment) was a regular Scottish Division, and abbreviated as \u2018The RHF\u2019.\u00a0 The regiment was formed on January 20, 1959 by the then amalgamation of the Royal Scots Fusiliers, with Highland Light Infantry (City of Glasgow Regiment). \u00a0The other highlight was having The US Army Special forces paratroopers land in the center of the field with flags. \u00a0The 2d Marine Division Band was also part of the Tribute to our Military Heroes.<\/p>\n

The parade of tartans was held at nine before opening ceremonies. Special guest was Hon. Alexander Leslie the earl of Rothes clan chief of Leslie.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The entertainment included the Celtic bands, Albannach, Lissakole, and Cleghorn along with eleven pipe bands that are in the Piping Competition and Drum Major competition.\u00a0 The Games included heavy athletics, and British Car Show, Scottish Country Highland Dancing and Irish Dancing, EMAA (European Medieval Arts of Arms), Border Collies competition, and Children events.<\/p>\n
