The Games, or Gatherings, take place in towns and villages throughout the country and they are a highlight of the Scottish calendar, making for a truly memorable day out amongst grand Highland scenery.

The Highland Games are renowned the world over as a test of strength between Clans. These athletic contests date back over 900 years and the Games are a fantastic spectacle where you’ll see Highland dancing, pipe band displays, hammer throwing, tug-of-war and tossing the caber.

We have a range of day tours based around these spectacular cultural events that include the best of our beautiful landscape. Each has its own local charm and character.

Each tour is different as each tour will travel to a different destination for the Games. One thing all the tours will include is landscapes, great commentary and stories from our guides and a chance for you to see as much of Scotland as we can show you!
