HEEEEEEEAAAVVVVEEEE!!!!!!!
Our brilliant Chieftain Des Clarke led the way to a big victory for his Tug O War team (with only maybe a wee bit of minor cheating involved). Wee bit slidey underfoot but lots of folks had a go - well done!

A belter of a year at the Haggis Hurling World Championships. Despite the early downpour, the rain dried up just in time for the start of the Qualifying round, and not a drop was seen again until well after the final and the victor was crowned … again!
Well done to all the competitors and huge congratulations to Garry McLay on his 28383637393rd consecutive HHWC win! 🏆

If driving down today please note there parking for Disabled on site, however it is very limited so get down early. There is parking in nearby Milngavie town centre and at the train station (a short walk away), or if parking in the neighbouring streets please park courteously - there’s a lot of elderly folk nearby who have carers that need regular access. Thanks!
