The idea for these games was conceived in by interested parties who had been active in Scottish events and who were involved in that year's production of the outdoor drama, Listen and Remember , which documented the coming of Ulster Scots to the Waxhaw region. By it was the state's second-largest Highland gathering. Founded in by numerous members of the Scottish American community in the Charlotte area and deriving its name from nearby Lake Norman , this gathering occurs annually in April and is considered to mark the beginning of the Highland Games season in the South.

Clan Armstrong does have a tent at Grandfather, but they don't really show up until the weekend. This year you'll find it in the inner circle around the playing field track. Our son does the Armstrong Clan callout during the opening ceremonies and are in the tent Thursday night if you'd like to join us for the that. Invictus Maneo!
