ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) The Capital District Scottish Games have been a tradition for over 70 years. Bill Munro, Publicity and Sponsorship Chairman said there was a moment when there were no games for 12 years until the Schenectady pipe band took over. “We were competing in games, and we remembered how good these games were, so we said, ‘Let’s start ‘em up again.’ And we did, and in 1978, we had a great crowd here, and we’ve been doing it ever since,” Munro said.
