Great to see you enjoying the games. My dad used to compete in the games in his youth(220 & 440 yards , long, high (and occasionally triple) jump, shotput and hammer). He worked as a farm labourer but made twice as much money from prizes at the games as he did from the farming. He travelled all over the north of Scotland competing at different games all through the summer. After he retired (aged 36!) we would still visit several games per year. My favourites were Aboyne and Ballater - Braemar was way too busy!
Wow! Great story. Thanks for commenting. It's very cool to see how the games were a part of his life not just a simple competition.
Glad you got decent weather for it. Thank you for visiting and showing what Scotland has to offer. The place touches your soul and keeps drawing you back.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to subscribe.
Where are you all from in the States? There are Pipe Bands and Scottish Highland Games throughout the U.S.
We are from Kentucky. I don't think I have ever seen any advertisements for highland games there.
Braveheart vibe ❤😂
Great vlog, enjoyed watching.
PS : did anyone else notice Balmoral used the Irish spelling (Céad míle fáilte) for the traditional welcome instead of the Gaidhlig spelling ?
8:30 in the end they drove out the English😂
i saw a video from Roth Aisling a scottish youtuber had a video of her highland games visit it was her first.She is from the south of scotland and apparently its not athing there at all..
I just watched part of her video. It seems like she went to a different highland games. The one we went to is the largest and most famous one. Thanks for watching!
They are pretty widespread, we have several near where I stay in Stirling which is bang centre of the lowlands. But the best are in the Highlands (I guess the clue is in the name!).
