Gather your friends, throw on some kilts and tartans, and dive into the heart of Scotland’s spirit. If you're looking for thrills, laughs, and epic memories, the Highland Games have got you covered. Get ready to Toss the Caber, Hurl the Haggis, Welly Wang, dash in the Farmer’s Race, flip some tyres, and more! With events like Weight O’er Bar, Puttin’ the Stane, Tossing the Hammer, and the ultimate Tug O’ War, there’s never a dull moment.

Great banter, lovely staff who were all good craic. Bit of a trek out of the city (30 mins by taxi from the hostel). The games took a little over 2 hours and there were activities to suit all levels of skill and fitness. Definitely wear clothes you’re OK with getting dirty.
