As one of the most popular events in Scotland, The Scottish Highland Games takes place between May and September and every venue offers a fun filled, exciting day out for the whole family.

Held throughout Scotland, the games have a full range of traditional activities including hammer throwing, tossing the caber, tug of war, highland dancing, solo piping and more and no Highland Games venue will offer the same.
