Douglas A. Fales (1929- ), artist and author, derives inspiration from his Eastern Ontario rural setting in Glengarry County. He wrote and illustrated "Glengarry Forever" (1972, Borealis), "A Kite On The Wind" (1973, Borealis), "Glengarry Sketchbook "(1976, Borealis) and "Highland Games Sketchbook" (1982, Borealis). As an artist, he works in oils, pastels and conté. His excellent draughtsmanship helps him depict marine scenes, portraits of historic First Nations people, and landscapes.

The Highland Games, whether seen in Canada, the U.S. or Scotland, are a breezy and colourful delight to behold. Take note not only of the massed bands and impressive heavy events, but also of what the sidelines offer.
