Scottish Games and Highland Gathering – Charleston 2009

by

Charleston celebrates Scottish Heritage at the 38th annual Scottish Games and Highland Gathering. This festival has it all from athletics, to music and of course dancing.

Scottish heritage is something many Americans celebrate, which might be one of the reasons why this festival is so popular in South Carolina. The number of Americans of Scottish descent today is estimated to be 20 to 25 million, (up to 8.3% of the total US population), and Scots-Irish, 27 to 30 million according to Wikipedia. And the Scottish influence is especially strong in South Carolina.

This festival offers has a little bit of everything and is great fun for the whole family. Here you can enjoy Scottish heavy athletics, from caber toss to hammer throwing and much more. Heavy athletics is really fun to watch.

The event holds one of the largest drum and pipe competitions in the southeast! The award-winning City of Charleston Police Pipes and Drums is the host band for the Charleston Games.
