On June 9th and 10th, we attended the 32 Annual Utah Highland Games at Lehi, Utah
To quote our president, Steve Galbraith:
“But here, to not only have the Galbraith banner fly during the introduction of the Clans at the Friday night Tattoo, entering the room first as the honored clan, but to also have a tent, prominently displayed, in the honored location, being featured as the honored clan, and then during the march of the clans, being placed at the front of the line with Jack piping in the entire parade of clans…that to me was amazing!”
On June 8th we had our business meeting in the afternoon and our closing ceremony and banquet in the evening

Steve Galbraith, our President was all kilted up and served as MC. He is the only Galbraith we know who could swing Robert the Bruce’s 13 lb claymore with ease!
