Highland games events in Scotland

Highland Games are held throughout the year in Scotland to celebrate Scottish and Celtic culture and heritage, especially in the Highlands and Islands. Traditions such as the bagpipes, the wearing of the kilt, and heavy events such as the caber toss, are synonymous with these events. While centred on competitions in piping and drumming, dancing, and Scottish heavy athletics, the games also include entertainment and exhibits related to other aspects of Scottish and Gaelic culture.
