Nairn Highland Games

The last free Games in the Highlands (Please note - a charge is made for Ringside seating)
Always one of the largest and most popular amateur gatherings in the North, the Games have been an annual feature on Nairn’s summer calendar for 158 years since being moved to 10th August in 1867. Prior to that, they were a winter Games, first held on 25th December 1865. The town is justifiably proud of this, the foremost event in the Burgh calendar.Games Day in Nairn is a little bit like New Year elsewhere - it is the time and the place to meet up with friends old and new, and enjoy a fun-filled event. The day’s programme includes Solo Piping at the putting green (morning & afternoon) and Junior Athletics (arena) in the morning.
