Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games 2017 - Blog Post by Dogleg Press

Thank you Michael Morgan for the great blog post! Return of the Haggis!
Picture
"Dallas and Fort Worth have a number of well-publicized cultural events the first weekend of May, but my favorite, hands down, is the Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games  held the first weekend of May on the campus of the University of Texas in Arlington.

...

A Clan Village allows attendees to meet and greet members of their extended, sometimes VERY extended, families and compare genealogical notes, or take in dance competitions while melodies from the pipers fill the air. Our guest this year discovered her Scottish heritage leads to Clan Gordon by way of Aberdeenshire County.
Scots are big on kith and kin, and the Texas Scottish Festival is a very family friendly event. Kids can take advantage of a special area and activities just for them."

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog post about the return of the haggis. It's always fascinating to learn about cultural traditions that have stood the test of time, and haggis is certainly one of those.

I appreciate the way you explained the historical context behind the haggis and its enduring popularity in Scottish cuisine. Your vivid descriptions of the various ingredients used in the dish made me feel as though I was right there in the kitchen, watching the process unfold.

It's heartening to see that the haggis is still enjoyed by many people today, not only in Scotland but also in other parts of the world. I agree with you that it's a testament to the resilience of Scottish culture and the importance of preserving traditions.

Thank you for sharing your insights and knowledge about the haggis. Your writing was both informative and entertaining, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.

I couldn't agree more! The Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games in Dallas and Fort Worth are truly a cultural extravaganza like no other. The first weekend of May is always a special time of the year for me because I know I'll be heading to the University of Texas in Arlington to immerse myself in the rich traditions and vibrant atmosphere of Scottish culture. From the moment you step onto the festival grounds, you're transported to a different world filled with the sounds of bagpipes, the sight of kilted clans, and the taste of delicious Scottish cuisine. It's a unique experience that brings together people from all walks of life to celebrate the heritage and history of Scotland. Whether you have Scottish roots or not, this festival is a must-visit for anyone looking to have an unforgettable weekend filled with music, dancing, and a true sense of camaraderie.

Bath care is essential for maintaining both physical and mental well-being, as it provides a relaxing and cleansing experience that promotes relaxation and hygiene.
