This friendly Games is held on the first Wednesday in July by Loch Tay at Kenmore in Perthshire, one of the few evening Highland Games in Scotland. The dancers included Hamish McInnes from Australia, a champion Highland dancer, and we think the young lady is Lyndsey Douglas.
The Highland Fling is one of the most famous Scottish dances performed at competitions and championships throughout the world. It is said to have been inspired by the sight of a stag jumping around a hillside. The dancers movements; the arms held aloft like antlers, the feet dancing from side to side, the body turning around, all suggest the stag's playing.
