Highland Games
Nothing evokes the spirit of Scotland like the Highland Games! And throughout the summer, games are held all around Oban and Lorn, where you can witness athletic, dancing and piping prowess, browse stalls and indulge in Scottish fare- and you can even participate in the foot races!

The Oban Games – The Argyllshire Gathering – is one of the largest in Scotland and attracts international visitors and competitors to its events, many of which are for Scottish championship titles. Plus there are many smaller games, where you can immerse yourself in the local culture.
