Inverness highland gamesNobody knows when the first Inverness Highland Games were held. The date of the first gathering on the banks of the River Ness by our ancestors has been lost in the mists of time and will forever remain a mystery. What we do know is that back in 1821 the Inverness Courier reported that fundraising was taking place in the town to revive those ancient Games and to give the Capital of the Highlands a Highland Games that its townsfolk could be proud of. Thanks to the efforts of those early fundraisers, 180 years later, the City of Inverness Highland Games is firmly established as one of the largest and most enjoyable Highland Games in the North of Scotland. A wonderful mixture of new attractions and traditional events ensures that the City of Inverness Highland Games is always one of the highlights of any summer in the Highlands. As usual the heart of the City of Inverness Highland Games will be the traditional Heavy athletic events, the Highland Piping competitions and the Highland Dancing competitions in Bught Park. It is often said that records were meant to be broken at the Inverness Games and it is a fact that Bught Park Stadium has seen some wonderful moments over the years. Most of the credit for that must go to the dedicated athletes, dancers and performers who have spent years perfecting their skills in these wonderful Highland events and the families, coaches, judges and club organisers who have supported them along the way. However some of the credit must go to the enthusiastic Inverness spectators who certainly know how to support their favourites. The roars of encouragement for the youngsters taking part in the Mini Tug of War is just as loud as those given to the Heavies as they launched the caber and that is what makes Inverness so special. To really experience a Highland Games, you have come to Inverness and sample and become part of the atmosphere It is as simple as that. As usual the Inverness Highland Games has a commitment to and will be offering new and exciting attractions for you to enjoy. As usual the City of Inverness Highland Games has a commitment to offering families new and exciting attractions to enjoy every year. 4 July 18-19 July 18 July 1 August 7 August 8 August 8 August 15 August 15 August 22 August 22 August 23 August 5 September 19 September
