About

Since 1852, when the initial Scottish pioneers set foot on the Australian continent, the vibrant tapestry of Scottish culture has flourished Down Under.

The roots of the Highland Games trace back to the 11th century, where they emerged as a platform for testing endurance and strength while showcasing the artistic flair of dance and music to esteemed clan chiefs, kings, and queens. In Australia, the legacy of this tradition lives on, as we continue to organize this spirited event, fostering unity within the Scottish community.

Beyond a mere showcase of physical prowess, the Highland Games serve as a cultural celebration, inviting individuals of all ages to engage with and embrace the Scottish way of life.

From the exhilaration of caber tossing to the savoury delight of tasting authentic Scotch pies, the Games provide a multifaceted experience, encouraging everyone to immerse themselves in the diverse and lively tapestry of Scottish culture.

Join us as we blend tradition with the contemporary, creating lasting memories and strengthening the bonds that connect us to our Scottish roots.
