                         CEUD MILE FAILTE - Welcome
The Highland Gathering goes far back in time when the men
of the highlands first began to compete in various tests of
strength, the playing of highland music, and of highland dancing.

It is said that Kings used these events to test men for battle…
they were tested for strength, endurance, stamina and agility.
The best competitors were given the higher ranks on the
battle field.

The scene of a Highland Gathering is one of the most colourful
and stirring occasions with men in kilts competing in the heavy
contests of strength, the dancers regale in splendid colour and 
the distinctive music from the pipes and drums.

The Highland settlers brought their traditions along with them
and we celebrate these traditions at Highland Gatherings around
the world. We hope you will join us on Saturday, June 19,2010!
