2024 Arisaig Highland Games

The Arisaig Highland Games returned this summer with the usual mix of Piping, Highland Dancing, Heavy events and Track & Field. The Games were followed by a traditional Ceilidh in the village hall in the evening.

The Games were held on Wednesday 31st July at Traigh Farm and were officially opened at 12 noon by the Games Chieftain Andrew MacDonald, younger son of the Chief of Clanranald.

We had a very successful day with beautiful weather to match the stunning location of Traigh. A very large crowd assembled and were rewarded with a full afternoon of high quality piping, dancing and athletics.

Our sponsors from Ardnamurchan Distillery were present at the field in their marquee offering whisky tastings and the opportunity to purchase some of their single malts. The barrel race that our sponsors created was one of the highlights of the afternoon.

Thanks must go to our hosts the Shaw-Stewart family for the use of Traigh Farm. We must also recognise the support of our all of our sponsors, Lochaber Mountain Rescue for providing First Aid cover and the Women’s Guild for stocking and running the tea tent at the field.

Last, but certainly not least, a heartfelt thank you from the Games committee to the loyal group of helpers who turn up each year to help set-up, steward and clear down the event – it simply wouldn’t be possible to stage the games without your help.

Thank you for your continued support of Arisaig Highland Games and we hope to see you next summer on the 30th July 2025!

The venue is the scenic location of Traigh Farm, Arisaig with sweeping views across sandy beaches towards the Cuillins of Skye & the Small Isles of Eigg and Rhum.
