The Highland Games are a series of competitions and cultural festivities in towns all over the Scottish Highlands. Each town has a day of events, taking place in a prominent outdoor space. There are normally caber toss, hammer throw, tug of war games, traditional dancing and music, and tons of hearty Scottish food and ale. Livestock shows, parades, traditional ceilidhs, plenty of plaid, and bagpipes round out the spectacles. Pick one, or visit a few, each clan gathering has its flavor, but they are all spectacular.
