Thu Jul 17 7:00pm - Thu Jul 17 10:00pm

Notes

The Taynuilt Ceilidh is open to the general public on Thursday night in the village hall that can probably only hold 50 -75 people. We might persuade them to add Wednesday and maybe even Friday nights to fill the demand by MacIntyres. Don’t count on being able to attend it due to the limited numbers.

**Ceilidhs

The original Gaelic meaning of ‘ceilidh’ was a visit. This came to mean a house party, with guests providing the entertainment: singing, instrumental playing, and storytelling. Now it means any event with Gaelic entertainment. Here is something I found in the newsletter from www.electricscotland.com

By The Rev. Canon R. C. MacLeod of MacLeod (1920's). Here is how Chapter X starts...

”I should imagine that no country in the world is richer in folk-lore than the West Highlands. The ceilidh was an institution, and our people loved to gather together on a winter's evening, and to tell each other again and again the old stories which they had received from their forbears.”

Taynuilt Highland Games

The Taynuilt Highland Games are one of the oldest in the world. They are the essence of the games – combining competitions in athletics, piping and Highland dancing with an annual meeting of family and friends. They begin with a parade down Main Street to the Games field and there are many activities for children. Unlike, Highland games in the United States, there are no clan representations, but 2008 will be an exception with our large group of MacIntyres. There will be a many activities at our tent which will also provide shade from the sun (we hope). There are at least two MacIntyres interested in competing, one in Highland dance and another in the heavy athletic events. They also have a race for which I think we can guarantee one competitor. There will be piping and singing at our tent along with information and discussion about all aspects of MacIntyre history and culture.
