Each year, during the third weekend in October, Scots gather in the meadow at Stone Mountain Park.  For 37 years the Stone Mountain Highland Games have not only provided cool athletic competition, but also a great musical performances and social interactions.

I have been to a few of the events over the years and enjoyed watching athletic events like the Caber Toss (this is throwing a telephone pole, kids…), the Hammer Throw and the Sheaf Toss.

I’m also a sucker for bagpipe music.

Hit up the Stone Mountain Highland Games website for more info.  Events start Friday evening and continue through Sunday.  There IS an additional charge to get into the meadow, aside from the park’s entry fee.

I have never been to Highland games but I truly love bagpipers in a parade.  This sounds like a lot of fun.

I love Stone Mountain Park the mountain feels like you are on the moon--craters and all.  Plus the light show was well planned and enjoyable.
