What are \u201cHighland Games\u201d?<\/h2>\n

\u201cHighland Games\u201d have existed in Scotland since the 11th Century AD. They say that King Malcolm the third announced a foot race to the summit of Craig Choinnich. The goal was to find the fastest runners in the country and to make them the king\u2019s personal courier.<\/p>\n

Arriving in the highlands \u2013 Individuals become clans<\/h3>

The journey to the Scottish Highlands begins with the first sound of the bagpipes. A presenter in a kilt welcomes the guests, captivating them with humour and energy and turning strangers into allies. Together, the participants form clans, give themselves proud names, wrap themselves in kilts \u2013 and suddenly the team spirit grows, louder and stronger than any battle cry echo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
