The Junior Highland Games has been organised to allow children between the ages of 5 and 18 the opportunity to participate in games events normally reserved for adults and hopefully create interest for the future generations. The emphasis is on fun and is intended to provide educational experiences in an informal and participative way. The event will be held in the Braemar Games Field and has backing of The Braemar Highland Society.
Children will be able to participate as well as receive education and instruction in a number of traditional games events overseen by qualified instructors.
New competitors are welcome and instruction is provided. Events include highland dancing competition, piping competition and tug of war teams events.
Visit one of Scotland’s longest running Highland Games, showcasing traditional heavy and light events, highland dancing, piping competitions and lesser known entertainments like tilt the bucket and barrel racing.
From 11am – 5pm. Held on the 3rd Saturday in July every year, for over 175 years!
