9 HIGHLANDS

10 HIGHLAND GAMES Highland Games, which take place from Cowal to Tomintoul and all points in between, are a unique mix of sports, culture and community. They usually comprise a programme of field and track events, piping and Highland dancing competitions and 'heavy events' like the tug-o-war, the hammer throw and tossing the caber. It's said the Highland Games originate from Ireland in 2000 BC and that they crossed the water to Scotland with the fourth and fifth century migrations of the Scotti into Dalriada (Argyll) and beyond.

Its origins are Royal too.

16 KILTS- traditional costumes each important clan in Scotland has kilt with it´s own pattern

17 the famous Scottish kilt originated in the Highlands as an untailored, 5 metre-long piece of cloth that was belted at the waist the remaining material above the waist was draped over the shoulder and pinned. This upper portion could be arranged in a variety of ways around the shoulders according to the demands of weather, temperature or freedom of movement required. at the end of day, the belt could be unbuckled to transform into a warm covering for the night - the Gaelic word ‘plaid’ actually means 'blanket'.
