The 21st Annual Texas
Scottish Festival & Highland Games
The Opening
Ceremonies of the Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games were held at Maverick
Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday evening, June 1, 2007, which was a change
from the usual opening ceremonies at noon on Saturday under the boiling Texas
sun. This change was welcomed by the many participating attendees, Clans and
entertainers. The Clan MacLeod group was led onto the field by RVP Ross
McCaskill, Commissioners Gerald MacLeod and Douglas Beaton carrying the very
colorful flags and banners of Clan MacLeod.
The Clan tents
and vendors were open and ready for business early on Saturday morning and when
the gates opened at nine o’clock, the crowds came. The MacLeod tent was a
popular gathering place for MacLeods, Septs and friends of MacLeods. The large
tent afforded plenty of room for visiting, eating and getting out of the hot
sun. Doug Beaton brought his outdoor grill and cooked turkey legs, sausage, and
hot dogs. The day was filled with the sounds of pipes and drums; music coming
from the four entertainment tents, and the grunts and groans of the athletes as
they competed on the Athletic Field.
Sunday morning
dawned with a hard rain and wind storm that damaged some of the not so well
anchored tents but the MacLeod tent Held Fast! The sun appeared and we were
ready for business when the gates opened for the Kirkin’ of the Tartan at ten
o’clock. The grounds were soggy and that may have discouraged some folks from
attending but the MacLeod tent had a steady stream of visitors all day.
Those manning
the Clan MacLeod tent were Ross McCaskill, Gerald MacLeod, Douglas Beaton, and
Gloria McLeod. Those who came and renewed their memberships were Jim and Kathy
McLeod, Ken Lewis, Robert B. MacLeod, Don Clark, Lou McLeod, David Cooper, Mary
Jo McClure and Helen Eisenhower. New members were Raymond McCabe, Grace Hudnall,
Michael Lewis, John Morris, Terry Mabry and Robert Brock. We always look
forward to seeing those members who are so faithful to come every year, renew
their membership and visit for a while. We also welcome the new members and
take that opportunity to acquaint them with the Clan MacLeod Society, genealogy,
history, our website and give them literature.
A great time was
had by all!
