Texas Scottish Fest & Highland Games' Official Website I attended again the Scottish Festival at the Maverick football stadium of the University of Texas at Arlington. It was a good day full of entertaining acts and appealing vendors.
It was a good weekend with good weather. There were also the annual competition of Highland Games with participants from all over the country.
