Highland Games of Scotland in Amsterdam

Highland Games of Scotland in Amsterdam

Highland games are a series of events that are being held during the spring and summer mainly in Scotland. This is their way of celebrating Scottish and Celtic culture. The games are particularly important to the culture of the Scottish Highlands.  

This type of event has now spread all over the world and people do it for their own exercise and fun.

What you need: Strength, speed, flexibility and team spirit. That’s all! Nothing else. Everyone has a little bit of each, so don’t worry too much about not being able do it. The games are really about testing yourself to see how well you can compete. The most important thing is participation and spirit – with these awesome games the fun takes care of itself! Throughout the events, a tour guide will be there to assist you for every game and help you to master each of the events.
