Ashbourne is high in the Peak District of Derbyshire - hundreds of miles from Scotland but this was the 24th year of the Highland Gathering. At the beginning of the video the Pipe Band from the City of Newcastle rehearsed before entering the arena.

I also really enjoyed the Tug of War - nice to see they had both sexes participating!

Janet 7, I think your story has potential but needs some improvement. I've got a few suggestions, and if you give them a try, I'd be happy to remove this flag.

I wasnt sure what was newsworthy in this story. News should always be about posting current stuff - new things you've discovered.
