Join us for a day of tradition, strength, and community spirit at the Glenurquhart Highland Games, held in the heart of the Highlands in Drumnadrochit on the banks of Loch Ness.  A highlight of the summer calendar, the Games celebrate Scottish heritage with thrilling heavy events, Highland dancing, piping competitions, local races, and family-friendly entertainment.

This year, we are proud once again, to host the Women's Heavy World Championship – an event that will see top female athletes from around the globe compete in iconic events like the caber toss, weight for height, and shot putt.
