344 pictures now posted on the Gurn flickr pages. It was a fantastic day and huge crowds made their way down to the links today, the Gurn has heard that generous punters made donations of over £3,200 today which will go a long way to ensuring that the games continue to be successful next year.


Individual pictures here. And full screen slideshow here.
This image is particularly interesting.

Nairn Higland Games 2010 traffic jams prediction - so why not come early?

The Highland News reports:
'POLICE are advising motorists and pedestrians of increased traffic flow in the Nairn area tomorrow (Saturday) due to the Nairn Highland Games.' More here.
Why not come to Nairn early and have a browse of the shops, plenty of places to have your lunch too. Enjoy a stroll along the beach or the riverside walks before the games begin. The massed bands march down to the Links at 12.30.
Have a good one Gurnites and if you publish any pictures, videos etc online afterwards please let us know and we'll link to your images. Here's a couple of pictures from last year.

Na Geamaichean Gaidhealach Inbhir Narann - 2009 - Nairn Highland Games

The weather held off and a great games day was enjoyed by all, made perfect by the news filtering through that Nairn County, playing away from home, had beaten Huntly.
Picture will enlarge and others later this weekend if time permits but the Gurnmeister only managed to get down towards the end of the games so if any gurnites out there have posted pictures on flickr or elsewhere please send us the link.
UPDATE: MORE PICTURES now available on Gurnflikr
and over on Bill's Comments you can see videos of the games.

Nairn Highland Games are what great memories are made of!

' If you ever, EVER, EVER get the chance to go to the Highland Games, any of them, don't think twice. Don't even blink. Just go! '

The Gurn recommends you read this blog post by a recent visitor to the Nairn games. Maybe it should all go in next year's tourist brochure?

Hello everyone, here's a few pictures of the Games. Nothing exciting but proof that the sun shone on Nairn and Nairnshire for the 2008 games. Worth trying the side show once you arrive on the pictures page.

Three in a row?

Will rain spoil the Nairn Games for a third time? Serious worries being expressed that heavy rain for a third year running could damage the Nairn Highland Game’s reputation. It isn’t much fun trying to watch the spectacle in driving rain is it? Here’s how it looked down at the Links today. Plenty of rain around but very light and not doing much damage. The forecast for Saturday seems to differ depending on which channel you watch. Let’s just hope that if it does rain then it doesn’t do so on the scale of the last two years.

First time on the Gurn? Lots of fun stuff in the posts below this week. Our technical correspondent and co-conspirator Iright is on a run!
