Caber, sheaf, hammer, stone put, weight-over-bar — the heavy events are what make Highland athletics unique. These events originated from great gatherings held by Highland clans in medieval times where chieftans selected their strongest warriors to compete and inspire others. Some say the games may have even pre-dated Scotland itself!

Pipe bands, traditional and modern celtic bands, dancers, and a talented cast of actors presenting the Scottish Royal Court – all working in concert to bring a lively cultural experience ye’ll nae be forgettin.

Guests who are of legal age are welcome to come learn about (and sample) fine Scottish whisky. Take in the stories of distilleries and learn about how Scotland’s famous Uisge Beatha (water of life) is made and how it may be best enjoyed – with all your friends from the Scottish Society of Indianapolis of course!

if you don’t have a kilt, you’ll find no shortage of suppliers and information to get yourself fully kitted out!

Tickets for kids are only $5 in advance!
