Once again big crowds are expected to turn out for the Inveraray Highland Games

Inveraray Highland Games is hosting the World Caber Championships for the seventh year running next week.

The important event in the games calendar attracts the highest calibre of athletes from all over the world, from as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and Germany, as well as Scotland’s home grown talent.

The winner of the George Hotel sponsored event is presented with the Scottish Games Association medal at the games on Tuesday.

It is a true test of skill and physical prowess as the caber at the World Championships is one of the biggest, if not the biggest on the circuit, measuring more than 20ft and weighing in at over 140lbs.

With its beautiful location at the head of Loch Fyne, the Inveraray Highland Games is held in the grounds of Inveraray Castle, where they are opened by the Duke of Argyll, Chief of the Clan Campbell.

Vibrant and friendly, these traditional highland games offer an exciting and memorable day out for all the family – wonderful games, great food and drink, souvenir shopping, side shows, children’s activity tent and a static display by KG Hawks. Also in attendance will be a contingent from 5 Scots Balaclava Company.

Loch Fyne Oysters and Clan Campbell Scotch Whisky continue to support the games as main sponsors.

The Inveraray and District Pipe Band will parade through the town at 10.45am with the main events commencing shortly afterwards.
