The Highland Games, Part 1
The Highland Games are a very old tradition. They were
set up as way of bringing together Scotland’s historical
families. They capture the cultural life and sports of this
magical nation. They include the colours and symbols of
a culture that almost disappeared, but is now stronger
than ever. The Highland Games are a meeting place of
strength, speed and celebration. Today on sports
grounds, farmers’ fields and city parks across this
country, they are Scotland’s very own Olympics!
This is the village of Ceres. It is home to Scotland’s oldest
Highland Games. For centuries the whole village has
gathered for this annual summer celebration. For the
people of Ceres, it’s a day as important as Hogmanay –
New Year’s Eve in Scotland – or Christmas.
