sewing. Everyone new to the sport should go here first!
North American

important web resource you'll need for participating in the highland games is
NASGA. From the most comprehensive calendar of games to athletic scores

highland games' universe. Everyone new to the sport should here second.

Based out of Springfield, IL, Ancient Athletics
is the most prolific games organization in the midwest, if not the continent.
Good people who put on excellent games and well worth knowing.

Thistle and Clover:
They're strong supporters of the games, but their
stuff isn't for rolling around in the dirt. These folk are genuine
haberdashers. Kilts, jackets, shoes, jewelry... if you are dressing to
impress Kilt & Thistle has what you need.
Sportkilt:
If you're gonna compete, your gonna need a kilt.
It's a "dress" code, if you like. As dress wool kilts cost hundreds of
dollars and can be exceedingly hot during a game, Sportkilt offers kilts made of
synthetic fibers and at a fraction of the cost. A big plus, given the
abuse our kilts will take in a season. They also offer accessories, like
socks & flashes.
Stillwater Kilts:
Another outlet offering affordable wool and
synthetic kilts and accessories.

Curtis' acquaintance at the games we threw at
Cherry Valley Days in Cherry Valley,
IL. Great photographer who took some real nice shots of us. I have a
sample set he sent us on the gallery page,
but a more complete set, as well as some more of his work, can be found here.
