Pitlochry Highland Games

Looking ahead, September promises to be a busy month for Pitlochry, with so much to see and do. From the Highland Games to the Antiques Roadshow, from the Philharmonic Orchestra to ceilidhs and live bands, it's all happening here! Along with all the sporting and outdoor pursuits, you can really cram a lot into a few days break.

Since 1852, Pitlochry Highland Games has been entertaining the crowds with a variety of events and competitions. One of the last Highland Games of the season, highlights include a Mass Parade of Pipe Bands, Highland Dancing events, running, cycling, and heavy events, plus a myriad of stalls and tents offering products and refreshments. This is one of the best family days out to be had, with children's races too! Come and join the fun on Saturday 12th September.

The Antiques Roadshow team will be using the splendid backdrop of Blair Castle as the setting for their roadshow on Thursday 9th September. Bring along all your treasured items for an expert and honest valuation and have a great day out.

Look forward to seeing you,
