Experience Scotlands Highland Games

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Planning a trip to Scotland this summer? Consider attending a Highland Games, which is like a track meet crossed with a county fair. If youre interested in experiencing one of these kilty pleasures, you can find Scots squaring off in various competitions across the country. Each year, more than 80 games take place in different towns, villages, and castles on weekends throughout the summer (May through September. And in smaller towns, you can simply drop in and join the fun. Youll pay about 10 at the gate and enjoy a day full of sport, fun, culture, and Scottish gut-bomb taste treats. I find that tourists are not only made to feel welcome, they are encouraged to give a couple of events a try themselves. (Youll see me do just that in this clip from my European Festivals special) Before you go, be sure to pick up a copy of my Rick Steves Scotland guidebook. A new edition, freshly updated for 2018, is available now

The juxtaposition of your statements about traveling in the dead of winter between the two videos is pretty hilarious. In fact, some of Europe's major festivals are scheduled in the dead of winter(next sentence in the next video) You know, winter may not be the best time of year to travel but. LOL

Rick is such a good sport! I've always loved how humble he is and how respectful he is of the people in all the different places he travels.
