2005 Glengarry Highland Games

A big Mr. Greg Hadley heaves a telephone pole sized caber at last weekend's Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Ontario. Ask any Scot what he wears beneath his kilt and he'll surely tell you - shoes and socks.

I left my kilt at home this weekend in favour of cooler cotton shorts. I may consider wearing it again next year when I lose a couple of inches around the waist. Dang thing lacks pockets you know, and the sporran can only hold so much.

Here are the events in which the competitors participated:

Weight for Distance (56Lbs.)
