2018 Central Florida Scottish Highland Games

This past weekend the residents of Winter Springs, Florida heard the strange sound of bagpipes in the air and smelled what could only be roasting meat wafting along with it. Follow the droves of cars and you would be lead to Central Winds Park where lines of kilt clad men and their maidens were making their way through the gates.
