Scotch Type

Our bekilted brethren have their weekend in the sun beginning tomorrow as the Scottish Highland Games kick off. It's like Irish Fest only with giant wooden pole throwing, giant steel weight tossing, beating the shite out of each other with swords, and culturally-appropriate kilt wearing. And also the girls use their arms when dancing.

Lots of Irish Fest alums on the entertainment roster for the weekend, including Bob Reeder, Kelly, the $3 Band, The Shortleaf Band and Flannigan's Right Hook, along with a bunch of other bands that are sure to keep your haggis hopping all weekend long.

The games and their attendant festivities take place at E.H. Young Park in Riverside, MO. Get all your details right here.
