The Scottish Highland Games is one of the most popular events in Scotland, with visitors and residents alike. If you visit between May and September, you’re bound to catch a gathering or two somewhere in the country. Games are held in many countries throughout the world where there are Scottish connections, but for now I’ll concentrate on Scotland.
Please note: This does not represent the full calendar. I only feature events that I know of, have a website, and update the site in a timely manner. If you know of any that I’ve missed, and meet that criteria, please feel free to contact me and I’ll add them. These are must-see events, combining a cultural treat and a fun day out for all the family.
