I used to compete in Highland Dancing at Grandfather.

Of course that was a LONG, LONG time ago - I think the last year I competed must have been '73 or '74. :-D

It's a good song. As a Highlander, I prefer the Gaelic songs, but that's just me.

I competed at the highland games too. Probably 1970 or 71. I really think I would have won the 100 but they held the 220 first. I had not worked out for a couple of months and did not realize how out of shape I had gotten.

I was leading everyone at 150 yards by about 20 feet then the bear jumped on my back. I think I finished 3rd. They ran the 100 about 10 minutes later and my legs were like rubber. I think I still finished about 3rd again.
