Oban Games Second: Of the remaining "Special Interests" two reach pinnacles of interest in Scotland, namely Sport and Pilgrimage,
Spectator sport reaches its most interesting and most Scottish levels in the unique Highland gatherings. The Braemar Gathering (first week in September) takes precedence over all others because the Royal Family,coming from near-by Balmoral Castle, always attends. The Argyllshire Gathering, more familiarly known as the Oban games second Games (second week in September), is second to Braemar. The Aboyne Gathering and the Cowal Games, both in August, are still other Highland events to consider, if your schedule does not permit you to see one of the first two events. To witness superb Highland dancing, side-splitting comedy games like Tilting the Bucket and wonderful he-manly sports like Tossing the Caber, a game for physical giants, make every effort to work a Highland gathering into your itinerary.
In the way of practical help, suggest games that could be played at home (e.g. word bingo or a cloze game where children fill in missing words or phrases), explaining the particular value of games to a child with reading problems -namely that they're fun and so don't seem too much like hard work, and also that they have a useful repetitive, reinforcing function. When you recommend a game, try to explain just how it is designed to help. There are booklets and pamphlets available, which give ideas for games that can easily be made and played at home (e.g. Hip Pocket Spelling Games series, New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983).
The Commonwealth Games are open to member nations of the British Commmonwealth. Originally called the Empire Games until 1970, they were first held in Canada in 1930. They are nicknamed 'the Friendly Games'.Whilst representing Canada Lennox Lewis,
subsequently WBC world heavyweight champion, won the super-heavyweight boxing gold medal in 1986 at Edinburgh.
