Q. Where are the MacAles?

A. Most of us are in the Western Washington area. We gather anywhere there is a beer or Scottish related activity. View the current Games schedules here.

• Some of us can be found at the Summer Microbrew Festival on Father's Day weekend each year.

• We usually gather in the beer tent at every Highland Game. If we are not there when you are...wait 5 minutes...we will be!

• Our big summer gathering is at either the Tacoma Games or the Seattle Scottish Highland Games every year. (The exact location will be announced on the Yahoo Group mailing list.) You will not find our tent inside with the other Clans...we're set up in the main camping area. The Clan potluck is on Saturday night.
