Fun time at Dundonald Highland Games, Scotland

Although 'only' 25C/77F, the atmosphere was very humid due to recent heavy rains. Dundonald is actually in the Lowlands, not Highlands and hence the composition of the event was slightly different to the two, true Highland Games which I attended earlier this year. Specifically, there was no clan sponsorship/connection. However, this community event was extremely well patronised resulting in a 'lava flow' of people at the arena.
