    Extractions: Brigadoonery Canada Highland Fun and Games H oot, mon H awking the coats of arms of Scottish nobility to us gullible commoners is another time-honored tradition at North American gatherings of the Clans. Because coats of arms are passed down though generations by heredity, John Doe Campbell of small town Canada has no more business using the personal arms of Lord Campbell of Cawdor than he has to appropriate the registered trademarks of the Campbell’s Soup Company! A Canadian who craves a real coat of arms to legitimize his humble existence must hope that his accomplishments may someday merit the attention of the Canadian Heraldic Authority, which grants arms to a few distinguished citizens, usually in recognition of long and outstanding public service. Except for families who trace their ancestry to Robert the Bruce or similar historical luminaries, real Scots who covet heraldic trappings content themselves with small, silver badges that symbolize only their clan affiliations i.e. family names. But who cares while there’s money to be made and Brigadoonery is running high? The spurious coats of arms for sale at the Highland Games are inexpensive and easy to acquire compared to the real thing. Any number of quaintly-attired merchants will be glad to accept your quaint credit cards. O ne may quibble over the niceties of heraldry; but who would dare to deny a would-be Scot his or her tartan? Never mind that many of the patterns in current use trace their “ancient” origins to a pair of canny, nineteenth century Polish lads who claimed, however improbably, to be descendants of Bonnie Prince Charlie.The failed Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 spelled the end of the Stuart dynasty, but young Charlie’s debacle sowed the seeds of a colorful legacy for the Brothers Sobieski, who in 1842 published a fanciful compendium of "ancient" tartans many purely their own, original designs in a book called

Highland games can be found throught the United States and Canada, as well as in Scotland, of course. Scottish highland games are also popular in Australia and New Zealand. The clans, the music (piping, bands, drumming, Scottish harp, fiddling), the vendors, the ceilidh, the animals, the dancing, and the athletics (light athletics, heavy athletics, Scottish wrestling, tug-of-war). Some of the attractions may be in the form of a demonstration or exhibition, while other events may be actual competitions, involving judges, scoring, and prizes. The clans are surname groups associated with a region of origin in Scotland. Many clans will sponsor a "clan tent," or information booth at the games. A popular topic at the clan tents is genealogy. When you attend a highland games, you should check the genealogy tent and find the clan that you belong to if you, your spouse, or friend has Scottish ancestry.
