Hunter Valley Highland Games

Yesterday I visited Saltire Estate Winery for the belated occasion of the Scottish Highland Games in the Hunter Valley for 2025.I will go anywhere to hear the sound of the bagpipes! It’s the first time I’ve seen the caber being tossed (or dropped) and I was surprised to see a couple of women having a go. How about this photo that I took? and also this one of the lassies doing their dancing.

There were lots of booths selling things and I bought a tablet (homemade Scottish fudge) and a couple of cute tins of shortbread with pictures of wee doggies playing the pipes on them.

The day was scheduled for August but was postponed because of flooding so in late November it was a properly hot Australian Games.
