Description
July 11-14, 2024
Experience a wee bit of Scotland in the High Country of Western North Carolina.
The Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and Gathering of the Scottish Clans, founded in 1956, are considered the grandest Scottish-themed games in America. The mission is to foster interest in traditional dancing, piping, drumming, athletic achievement, music and Gaelic culture, and establish scholarship funds to help local students study at American colleges and universities.
The spectacular scenery in MacRae Meadows at the base of historic Grandfather Mountain provides an ideal setting. The games include brawny athletes, delicate dancers, rousing bagpipe parades, rockin’ Celtic music and plenty of kilts. Visit the heritage tent to research your family tree and then head to the merchant tents to find your family tartan.
The Grandfather Mountain Highland Games provide four memorable days of Scottish heritage in North Carolina’s High Country.
