In what we feel is something of a scoop, but much much more of an honour, we have had confirmation that Scotlan's First Minister, the Rt. Hon. Alex Salmond, MSP will be attending Arisaig Games.

The Games Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank him very much, and to say that we look forward to meeting him on the day.

The First Minister will hopefully be awarding the prizes for the Boisdale Prize art competition for local artists, depending upon his schedule, which is obviously pretty full.
