Mallaig and Morar Highland Games are a small but very popular and friendly
games. The Games always attract a
wonderful mixture of local people and people from all over the world
including Canada, Australia, America, as well as across the U.K. and
Europe. Some come to compete, others to enjoy the events, but all enjoy
the stunning scenery which is the selling point of the most beautiful part
of Scotland. In the last few years, the games have been held at Traigh
farm, Arisaig, but in 2005 the games returned to their original venue at
Morar. |
