The popular event is back this year on July 16 at Bught Park in Inverness, celebrating Highland Dancing, pipes, drums and more traditional events.

The Inverness Highland Games is funded by the Inverness Common Good Fund.

The event was postponed for two years due to covid restrictions, but organisers are delighted to be back.

Inverness Highland Games committee chairman, Angus Dick, said: “We are very excited to be bringing back the Inverness Highland Games for such a special year in 2022.

“The games have always been a real highlight of the summer event season in Inverness, and we are all very much looking forward to welcoming back not only our local event partners, competitors and communities, but people from right across the world to the city’s Bught Park this July.

“This year’s event is set to be a fun-filled day out for all the family, showcasing the traditional competitive events and displays we all enjoy at a Highland Games and have very much missed these last two years, including the magnificent Heavies, track and field athletics, pipes and drums and Highland Dancing.”

The committee worked with the city's Events and Festivals Working Group and High Life Highland to plan the event.

High Life Highland events manager Amy MacLeod added: “Over the years, Inverness has seen some fantastic Highland Games and despite This being an extremely challenging time of recovery for the event sector, we want 2022 to be no different. We are therefore delighted to confirm that the Inverness Highland Games are back.

“The day will provide us a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the very best Inverness and the wider Highlands has to offer, and we invite prospective traders, exhibitors, stallholders, local businesses and charities to get in touch for the opportunity to showcase the very best in food, drink, craft, retail and entertainment to both local and international attendees of the event.”
