The Atholl Gathering And Highland Games
Sport & Leisure
Games with heavy weights, piping, highland dancing, wrestling and tug-o-war
This unrivalled event gives you the opportunity to participate in a unique Highland tradition that has been preserved for generations.
The Atholl Gathering and Highland Games is a highlight of Perthshire's event calendar. Hosted in grounds of historic Blair Castle, the two-day Gathering weekend consists of The Atholl Highlanders' Parade on the Saturday followed by the Highland Games the following day. Saturday begins with a special talk in the castle ballroom telling the fascinating history of the Atholl Highlanders, Blair Castle's private army, and is followed by their spectacular annual parade in the afternoon. The Highland Gathering on Sunday, officially opened by the Atholl Highlanders 'March On', is a classic Highland Games featuring traditional 'heavy' events such as tossing the caber, putting the shot and throwing the hammer.
