Highland Games Luss

 Highland Games Luss - Sat 1st July

On our drive around Lock Lomond we saw signs for the Highland Games Luss so we decided to attend so we were up early on the Saturday left Callander and drove to Luss on the west side of Loch Lomond on a  similar route to the day before with the intention to drive on to Oban that night.

The Highland Games were an excellent day out with all kind of event and competitions. A real cultural experience. The photo below give a good look at the things taking place and on display. For lunch we had traditional Stovies and Haggis.
