HIGHLAND GAMES
& FESTIVALS
IN CANADA — 2008

 

This page is now in the process of being updated — I’ve gotten as far as Ontario; PEI is next......

stamp.jpg
The piper is John-Hugh MacDonald of Ottawa (PM of CFB Trenton); the drummer is Russell Pretty of Ottawa; the dancer is Jennifer Blackburn of Port Perry, Ont; the heavyweight tossing the caber is Harry MacDonald of London. The stamp celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Glengarry Highland Games held in Maxville, Ontario, in 1998.
