The Village Fair: Bridge of Allan

Around late August (but determined by the climate not the calendar), the people in the village have a weekend of festivities. As predicted sunny and warm by meteorologists, they celebrate in conjunction with the celebration of the Highland Games, in the town of Bridge of Allan. There are many green flat spaces here, so there are no issues. It is held in a meadow overlooking the William Wallace Monument Tower and Stirling Castle. What caught my attention is that between the typical fairground attractions, the most popular (even with the youngest visitors) were the most traditional games, like knocking down stacked cans with a rag ball, which gave this fair a taste of yesteryear.
