Lochearnhead Highland Games 24th July

Active Scotland outdoor activities is once again delighted to be associated with the long established Lochearnhead, Balquhidder and Strathyre Highland Games.

Our company not only supports the games but also is a family tradition to volunteer. For many year's now the McGrandles family have supported the event and the mantle now lies with Barry who manages the track and field each year. This type of attraction is key to the tourism of Lochearnhead and we hope we can be part of it for many years to come.

At Lochearnhead Highland Games we run the traditional range of heavyweight events in both local and open competitions. Heavy and light hammers, caber tossing, shot-putt, weight over the bar, tug-o-war as well as a number of track and field events, including a gruelling hill race. Lochearnhead Highland Games still holds records for Olympic athletes such as Geoff Capes.

Traditional highland dancing and a range of piping events run throughout the afternoon, often with an opportunity to see world champion competitors in the most picturesque surroundings imaginable. There are also fun events for children and the more adventurous adults.

A number of trade stands are also present selling a range of confectionery, clothing and craft goods. On-field food and bar facilities are provided.
