This unforgettable weekend draws visitors from near and far to experience the proud spirit of the Scots through music, sport, and pageantry.
Past festivals have featured thrilling jousting tournaments, whisky tasting workshops for those looking to savour the finer flavours of Scotland, and intense heavyweight and lightweight athletic competitions showcasing feats of strength and skill. The sounds of bagpipes fill the air as pipe bands march through the village, while visitors enjoy traditional fare, crafts, and family-friendly entertainment. Whether you're donning a kilt or cheering from the sidelines, the Gathering of the Scots offers a vibrant and immersive cultural experience that celebrates history, heritage, and community in equal measure.
