Travels of the Agnew Family for 2008.01.01 to 2010.01.31

Someone was not happy with me and found a spot to lay down chin on pig to let me know it.

Our friends Bob and Gwen came for the weekend and as it was Kincardine's annual Scottish Festival we headed out to watch the heavy games on Saturday. It was a beautiful day and on Sunday we all realized that hats and sunscreen would have been a good idea.


The competitors being piped into the games.


The pipers leaving

Throwing a 56 pound weight


The hammer throw ... to help keep the thrower in place the boots have pieces added to the front that are pushed into the ground.


A 20 pound sheath was thrown in the air and had to pass over the bar --- I think the bar was at 23 feet .


First you had to pick up the "caber", then you had to run with it before ....


you tossed it hoping it would land and flip over staying in the same line you were running. These cabers were over 24 feet in length and about a 100 pounds.


Kincardine's lighthouse


This is an interesting intersection ---- the road on the left is one-way, so no turning left, the road ahead is missing so "do not enter", the road to your left has a dead end sign (we couldn't get it in the photo). We want to know "which way do you go?"
