What are the Highland Games?
The Highland Games are traditional Scottish events celebrating Celtic culture and heritage. They feature athletic competitions like caber tossing, hammer throw, and tug-of-war, alongside Highland dancing and piping. The Braemar Gathering, attended by the King and Queen, is one of the most famous, often graced by the Royal Family due to its proximity to Balmoral.
