The Games begin with a parade of bands, clan representatives and others that leads into the Massed Band Salute and Chieftain’s Address that officially opens the day.

Throughout the day there will be fun for all the family – there will be Highland and Country Dancing, Pipe Band displays, Strong Man events with the Kilted Warriors to enjoy as well as three-legged races, and the famed Kilted Dash to participate in.

A multitude of stores and stands will surround the area selling all manner of Scottish heirlooms and souvenirs, clothing and garb, and food and drink to complete your day.

Clan societies will be well represented who are only too willing to help you trace your links with Scotland and the Highlands.

In the evening, following the Games, the Aberdeen Sport & Recreation Club will host a Pipe Band Quintet competition presented by the New South Wales Pipe Band Association in partnership with the Tamworth District Pipe Band.
