We cross the River Forth or head through Perthshire known as the Heart of Scotland, over Glenshee the Skiing capital of Scotland surrounded by Wild deer or Pheasant. The festivities are fit for Her majesty Queen Elizabeth the First of Scotland.
While there have been Gatherings of one sort or another at Braemar since the days of King Malcolm Canmore, nine hundred years ago, the Gathering as we know it has been organized by the Braemar Royal Highland Society for only 187 years. But during much of that time large crowds have come each year to acclaim their Monarch as Chieftaof the Braemar Gathering.
Every Gathering is a memorable occasion. International athletes will be among those taking part the "heavy" or "track" events. Pipers or dancers will be of the usual high standard while teams from H.M. Forces will compete the Inter-Services Unit Tug of War Championship or the Services Medley Relay Race.
A Hill Race will again be run up Morrone. Scottish Pipe Bands will be to the fore with the customary Massed Pipe Bands appearing.
Notes: Meals, snacks or light refreshments are available at the Gathering. Various members of the Royal Family including H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth the first of Scotland will be attendance. We recommend that passengers take appropriate clothing and an umbrella in case of wet weather.
Tour Price is for Transportation/Guide only. Entrance fees are payable on arrival.
