The Old Guard

Everyone has their dream team, those folks that stand behind them and have shown them the light. These men and women may not be folks you know, or names you have heard, but they should be. They are the heart of the games, and have ushered in more throwers than I can put names to. These are the "boots on the ground" style leaders that make our sport happen year in and year out.

Over the next few weeks I will be posting some stories and interviews with the folks I know that have shaped the face of highland games as I know it. The ones that have spent countless hours doing the thankless work of ushering in the newbies, and in particular crafting those local games we all enjoy. Keep an eye out, and learn these names folks.
