The Essential Guide to Highland Games

A fun and interesting book to read for those with some familiarity of Highland Games. It gives a unique view of a portion of Scottish history that is being kept alive and growing in the U.S. as well as Scotland today. Great information on all forms of athletic events and their history. Many that aren't played in the U.S. but interesting to read about all the same. While the list of games in the U.S. is out of date it's no problem because contacting most of the games listed will update you to many more being played all over the world today.
