A real blast from the past. Here’s a story most of you won’t know. I entered the Royal National Mod first in 2010 when in came to Caithness. I was 13, I was in the under 19s category. I was delighted to win. I missed the next year due to the distance to Stornaway and then entered the next year, this time a technical error and I was in the over 21 category (adults) at aged 15. I didn’t say anything, played and won. I entered two more times and this time purposely entered the adult category and won the hat trick before I stopped competing. No one noticed a young 15 year old in the adult competition… I guess I looked old for my age ? Ha ha ! Fun memories but glad I don’t compete anymore… see you all soon
