I happen to spend a couple of months in the Dallas area every single year, so it is somewhat amazing to me that I had no idea they even had a Scottish Festival there. I could do without the Haggis, but I have always wanted to see even the American version of the Highland Games. I will probably be in Dallas within the next 3 or 4 months, so it seems that I will have to miss it this year, but will definitely work to schedule myself for a June visit next year. Great lens and thanks for the info!
