Loch Norman Highland Games

Dear Loch Norman Highland Games Patrons And Sponsors:

Highland Games are a unique mix of the sporting, the cultural, the music and the social. They comprise a program of field and track events, piping and Highland dancing competitions, and ‘heavy events’ like the tug-o-war, the hammer throw and tossing the caber.

It’s said the Highland Games originate from Ireland in 2000 BC and that they crossed the water to Scotland with the fourth and fifth century migrations of the Scotti into Dalriada (Argyll) and beyond and are one of the country’s oldest and most treasured traditions. We celebrate our Scottish Heritage at Loch Norman!
