Fredericksburg Scottish Games

Yesterday, I met with the Chief of the Fredericksburg Scottish Society, Don Macleay and his wife Astrid. We talked about the now defunct Fredericksburg Highland Games and Celtic Festival. I had recently moved to Fredericksburg and attended them in 1998. In 1999, a business trip took me out of town. That was the last one.

Don gave me the history of the games and shared his exploratory efforts over the last few years to resurrect them. There appears to be an interest in Scottish heritage groups in the area to bring them back. Much work would have to be done in achieving their comeback.
