Kilts and controversy as Scottish clans gather

There were kilts, caber-tossing and a touch of controversy as more than 40,000 Scots from around the world descended on Edinburgh Saturday for an event billed as the largest gathering of the clans in 200 years.

Aye! twas a grand day what wi the wind getting up a bit revealing a few ginger beards and noses of various lengths,The fat chieftan o the pudding race was there in droves.
It was grand to see a few cabers gettin tossed, but it seemed to be over far too quickly, and we were soon watching as fine a display of haggis munching as ever id seen.
The spot your mans bum competition went a bit sour with four women rightfully identifying the arses of thier husbands best friends,much hilarity ensued!
the three legged race, which is a favorite of the ladies went marvelously with only one fatality this year caused by an overbalanced contestant tripping over a sweet wrapper which subsequently lead his team into the path of a council hedgetrimming tractor (the driver was unharmed)
So alls well that ends well and can't wait to do it again in another 200 yrs.

Hoots awa wi ye! what a grand festival, wi all the lads a-cabering and tossing their Trossachs up an' doon the glen. Jock McHaggis won a jumbo size bottle of Methylated Spirit, and I won a huge deepfried Mars Bar Haggis. What a fine display of kilting and bagpipe-wrestling, wi' a special appearance of the Loch Ness Monster.
