Sun at Ballater

Ballater, Scotland – August 12, 2004 – A surprisingly sunny day shined on the Ballater Highland Games in Aberdeenshire, just down the road from the Queen’s Balmoral estate. Innes Smith and Roddy Weir took home the first prizes against a field of about 13 other pipers. Local pipers did very well otherwise.
