Short Description
Let the games begin! The Highland Games are a global symbol of strength, endurance, and tradition, where competitors face off in legendary events like the caber toss, hammer throw, and tug-o-war. With roots stretching back over 900 years, these kilt-clad athletes captivate audiences with their skill and might. All this unfolds to the rousing sounds of pipe bands and the elegance of Highland dancing, creating an atmosphere brimming with Scottish pride.
With over 80 events to choose from, we’ve selected the finest for our day tours, each brimming with unique local charm and set against breathtaking Scottish landscapes. For a regal experience, the Braemar Gathering – attended by the royal family – is a must-see. Whether you’re cheering on the athletes or soaking in the culture, the Highland Games promise an unforgettable day out.
Join us on a day tour to a real Highland Games where you can soak up the atmosphere and experience the excitement. The Games, or Gatherings, take place in towns and villages throughout the country and are a highlight of the Scottish calendar, making for a truly memorable day out amongst grand Highland scenery.
