Why the Scottish Highland Games and Festival is Starting to Bore Me

I'm an admitted Celto-maniac. I love Celtic music and Celtic literature. I like to follow Celtic politics...especially what is happening in Scotland and the Irish Republic. Both of those nations are emerging from generations of poverty and oppression, though many problems still remain, especially in Scotland.
My dad's parents were both Scottish immigrants and my mom's Scottish ancestors go back to before the American Revolution.
I think Scotland is one of the most beautiful places in the world, though it is not a warm cuddly beauty. The Highlands will take your breath away, but the weather can be dangerous and when the mists come down, it's all to easy to take a misstep and fall off a cliff.

It isn't the rebels who cause the troubles of the world.
It's the troubles that cause the rebels.
