Clan Buchannan was awarded our inaugural Bluebonnet & Thistle Award at the 2026 Games.
The Bluebonnet & Thistle Award recognizes the clan tent that best represents the spirit of Scottish hospitality and heritage at the San Antonio Highland Games. Secret visitors from the festival community evaluate clan tents throughout the weekend based on their presentation, welcoming atmosphere, and the knowledge shared with guests about their clan’s history and traditions.
