March of Lonach Highlanders, Strathdon, Scotland

The Lonach Games and Gathering is one of the Highlands premier events, highlighted by the March of the Lonach Highlanders from country house to country house where they are toasted by the clan chiefs for the service and loyalty. Then on to the traditional games with all the events including caber tossing, highland dance competition and the tug of war. The Lonach Highland and Friendly Society was founded in 1823 by Sir Charles Forbes, 1st Baronet of Newe and Edinglassie (1773-1849). Membership is drawn from the inhabitants of Strathdon, who continue to fulfil the society’s original mission of preserving Highland dress and “supporting loyal, peaceful, and manly conduct; and the promotion of social and benevolent feelings among the inhabitants of the district.”
