Blackford Highland Games

Hosting the 2017 Scottish Tug o' War Championships, the famous Blackford Highland Games have been held since 1870 on the park, an area of land loaned to the community by the landowner. A condition of the loan is that the Highland Games are held there annually in May.

We welcome visitors to our Games with a full list of events including throwing the hammer, tossing the caber, putting the shot, tug o’ war, athletics, track and field events, dancing with side shows, trade and refreshment stands.

Wrestler Andy Robin will officiate this year as our 148th Chieftain. Andy famously owned the grizzly bear Hercules.
