What you can expect

Feel the thrill of Scotland’s traditional Highland Games - iconic feats of strength, stirring traditions, and unforgettable spectacle await!

Step into Scotland’s proud tradition of strength, skill, and spectacle at the Highland Games, Scotland's version of the Olympics, celebrating Scottish culture and heritage. Dating back over 900 years, these legendary contests bring Clans together to compete in caber tossing, hammer throwing, tug-of-war, and more - all set to the stirring sounds of pipe bands and Highland dancing. Our specially curated day tours take you to different Games across Scotland, each offering its own local charm. Each game is uniquely charming, and in 2025 we’re taking you to some of the most exciting events, including the world-famous Braemar Gathering, a historic favourite of the Royal Family since Queen Victoria’s visit in 1848.
