Drumtochty Highland Games
 2003

As always, you can not influence the weather, but everyone hopes it to be nice for the big day. We had a very good spell of sunny and hot weather, but Thursday and Friday before the Games clouds moved in and it rained. Saturday morning did not look very promising either, but towards midday clouds gave way to blue sky and the Sun was shining on this years Drumtochty Highland Games.

Thousands of spectators and hundreds of competitors enjoyed, what Chairman Jim Brown described as: "one of the best Games ever". There was never a dull moment in the arena and the atmosphere was just brilliant.

Kjell Asbjørn and Family

Properly our most loyal friends.
Only missed one Games in the History of Drumtochty.
 Always pitching their tent on the night before the Games and I remember quit a number of occasions being invited for a "wee dram" or 2 or 3.....and having a good time.

From Norway but regular visiting Scotland. Kjell (second from left back row) seems to be increasing the number of his party every year. His sister Berit (middle front) was born in Aberdeen and lived the first few years of her life at Drumtochty Castle which was during the second WW owned by the Norwegian Government and used as a School for Norwegian Children evacuated for safety to this part of the world.
