Scottish Games and Celtic Festival Tomorrow [VIDEO]

I remember the first time I went to the Scottish games at  Long Branch Park in Liverpool. I happened upon a strange competition wherein several burly men were attempting to throw what looked like telephone poles. I later learned that this was called a caber throw, one of a number of traditional Scottish games that will be featured at tomorrows Scottish Games and Celtic Fest. According to their official website there is much more to see and do.

The aroma of Scottish and American Food, the skirl of pipes, the cadence of the drums, the awe of massed bands, the beauty and form of the dancers, the strength of the athletes and the feeling of clanship all contribute to hours of nostalgia and pure enjoyment!
