Drumtochty Highland Games 2005

Five Pipe-Bands marched on to the Field to open the 2005 Games. Almost 4000 visitors enjoyed a day of fierce competition, fun and all the traditional Highland Entertainment. The weather was kind, there was no 'real' rain but also not much sunshine, it was almost perfect. There was, this year, a much wider range of Children's activities and a good selection of Stalls selling all kind of ware, refreshments and food.

I am sure everyone had a good day out. Have a look at the usual mixture of pictures taken during the day.

after a hard day's duty one needs a little refreshment!

If you are a bit lazy and,or want to want to view the pictures in a little slide-show, no problem!
I have prepared two shows for you. Just click on the traditional one named:

Drumtochty 2005      or      Drumtochty Funky

If you have no Broadband it might take a while to download, but I am sure you will enjoy the shows.
If you havn't already hot it, you will have to download the 'shockwave' player; a little program used for a lot of applications.

   We hope you had a nice day and look forward to see you all again on:
