PACIFIC NORTHWEST SCOTTISH HIGHLAND GAMES & CLAN GATHERING

Be amazed by the titans who deftly toss the caber and put the stone, matching skill and strength against the odds on the athletic field of battle. Thrill to the bourdon of the bagpipes and the cadence of the drums as you witness, first hand, the fine array of talented pipers and drummers competing before judges of worldwide renown.

During your visit, you’ll be able to sample a wide variety of delicious and traditional Scottish foods. Don’t miss the chance to take a break and head over to the Rampant Lion Pub, the Tilted Kilt Pub or the Heavy Lifting Pub to raise a glass of fine Scottish style ales and quench your thirst. Sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Celtic Arts Showcases as various local Irish and Scottish musicians, and singers perform. Our 2023 Featured Performers will be Elias Alexander Trad Band, Golden Bough, Tempest, Brother, Colin Grant-Adams, and Men of Worth. We invite you to visit the encampment of the Northwest’s premier combat troupe, the Seattle Knights. Their performances include high-energy acting and choreographed stage combat using real steel weapons including broadswords, axes, and staves.

Take a stroll through the Avenue of the Clans, the Glen of the Clans, and our Walk Through Time and delve into your Scottish ancestry and heritage. Observe the fine workmanship of Scottish artisans and spend your hard-earned tuppence on lovely imported goods from the British Isles as you wend your way through the Hall of the Vendors.

Plan to attend the Ceilidh (Kay-lee) Saturday evening — a traditional Scottish party with music, sing-along, and Scottish country dancing.

It is a weekend not to be missed — full of fun, education, and traditional Scottish activities, so please join us and enjoy a wee bit of Scotland right here in the Pacific Northwest!
