Folks used to come to the games when the world was younger, who took two or three days to get hore from other countries. Even to-day men come by the mountain passes on foot. Keep- ers and stalkers have in some cases to start their cross-country tramp early in the morning-some of them from as far as the foot of Ben Macdhui-but the motor car runs through the story of the games now, and I have seen clansmen come into the village by automobile.
