Inverness Highland Games

We arrived in the tiny wee town of Inverness and were looking forward to our highland games experience the next day. We decided to have a night out in the town on our first night and managed to find a karaoke bar (which we loved!) but were also bitterly disappointed when every pub/club shut at midnight. Midnight!! Not what we were expecting.



The next morning we were up bright and early and headed off to the highland games location. And as soon as we got there, unfortunately it started pouring. But that didn't stop the awesome atmosphere. There were two groups of strong men - juniors (under 25) and masters (over 40). Each group had to go through and compete various stages. The stages we saw were throwing 42lbs for distance and for height and the tossing of the caber. Awesome awesome strength! There was also traditional scottish dancing and a marching band that was also quite impressive. A great day out!



From Inverness we headed back down south to Glasgow, however we did manage to stop off and get some pictures of Loch Ness, which was pretty fantastic as well!
