  • 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.”

  • The Glenfinnan Gathering is one of many Highland Games and Gatherings where Scots celebrate their heritage and traditions. It's also a comfortable homecoming for many. Glenfinnan is particularly notable because it is the site where Bonny Prince Charlie came ashore to rally the Highlanders to the cause of the Jacobites, which was to end disastrously at the Battle of Culloden. Events include the heavy events like the tossing of the caber, bagpipe and dancing competitions, tug of war, as well as the White Cockade Society which gathers to swear allegiance to the Jacobite cause, with a toast on the site where Prince Charlie stood. Also shown is dancing at the Glenfinnan Hotel in the evening.
