- Film showing the 2018 Kenmore Highland Games held on 4th July by Loch Tay in Perthshire, Scotland. Kenmore Games are an evening games held on the first Wednesday in July each year, organised voluntarily by The Kenmore & District Sports Association.
These friendly traditional games include highland dancing, pipe band displays by the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band, led by Drum Major Kenny Forbes, childrens & adult races plus heavy events including tossing the caber, hammer throw and shot put. There is one event for the heavy weights that is unique to Kenmore - Throwing the Tirinie Stone - an almost spherical stone found on Tirinie Farm, Kenmore, which weights 101 lbs. In 2018 only one team attended for the Tug o' War (Tug-of-war) competition, Strathardle, so bravely a group of American tourists on a tour of Scotland came together on Independence day and formed a team to take on the challenge.
I'm now a 62 year old man but I still remember the early days that I did Scottish highland dancing in 1964...8yrs old...I can still dance the highland fling and sword dance...you never forget.. Australia GDAY..
Thank you and we're pleased it brought back some happy memories, and that you can still dance. Merry Christmas.
Must have one hell of a cardio regime!
What’s different between scotish and irish traditional dress and dance
This is great stuff. This is how a country and people keep their culture alive. Scottish culture is colorful and rich. Thanks for posting.
I agree whole heartedly. Peace & Love Tommy

The Royal Navy are looking pretty tasty 🙂
Beautiful skirt, socs and bag.
So wonderful-Up the Scots! Watching from Wyoming. Scots were among the first ranchers, trappers, and Episcopal Missionaries Out West. They traded with Native Tribes and honored their cultures more than others.🌹
They also married into the tribes as well. The man who lead the trail of tears was indian and scot.
Scotland, I love you. Have been there 5-6 times, and I love both the country and the people. Greetings from Denmark.
That sailor dance at the end is one of the most amazing performances I’ve ever seen, well done
A Hadden watching from Vermont. Family from Aberdeen. Proud of them all.
The first March was absolutely breathtaking. I was brought to tears. So powerful
Scottish culture is truly amazing and the dances have me mesmerized. Thank you Scotland ❤ It'd be a dream come true if I could visit someday
Mainly of Scottish decent, I am memorized by the gracefulness of my people. Too bad there is not a lot of places that keep their ancestral heritages alive. LONG LIVE SCOTLAND!
What the hell are you talking about? Every nook n crannae of Scotland keeps our culture and heritage alive and thriving. We are a place where our history i very important to our people.
@@mydnajourneyhayman1280 What are you aon about lady? My comment wasn't even fucking hateful lol So says the American shouting on the internet about those damn DNA estimates hahahaha mate, we have words for folk like you. Also your overuse of the dead karen meme is ageing you dear.
@nevergoingtopr You cannot be serious XD First ov aw hen, a karen ain't a race, it's a fucking meme about entitled people usually being erseholes to people in the service industry or neighbours. Second ov aw, what the fuck is wrong with the name Shaniqua and why you stereotyping black women? BIG YIKES.
Mesmerized, deary. Mesmerized.
@nevergoingtopr I actually don't hate myself. I'm pretty rad. I'm also not a libertarian. Karens aint a race you idiot, they're not even gender specific. My favourite part of all of your screeching is that you still havn't realised it wasn't me who called someone a Karen LMFAO
Must put this event into my bucket list. Fantastic atmosphere and lovely people.
Great music, great Scots, great bagpipes, great dancers. I love this music.
What more do you want ?
Someday I'll come to Scotland.
Independence. Then we will have it all.
Mischgewebe see you soon lad ! but not now of course with this whole pandemic jobby !
Am with you in the love; exactly outstanding.
QUÉ POCA GRACIA¡ QUÉ EXABORÍOS¡ NO OBSTANTE LO PEOR ES LA MÚSICA: ESOS PITOS SIN NINGUNA ARMONÍA: TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE...EL FOLCLOR MÁS FEO QUE HE VISTO EN MI VIDA.
LAS DANZAS DE LOS APACHES QUE LOS INGLESES EXTERMINARON ERAN MUCHO MEJOR QUE ESTE...NO SE CÓMO LLAMARLO
You better
A brave but peace, freedom and fun- loving people they are!God bless Scotland.
I may have no ancestry to Scotland but damn I love they're dances and instruments, coming from a 45% Irish, 15% German, 24%french, and more, I really like Scotland culture
There is more to it than ancestry. It's where you lived in previous lives. And you have had many.
What a beautiful event, knew nothing about it, but what a joyous occasion and fun. WOW!😊
Bagpipes are like the voice of God soothing your soul.
They really hurt my ears. (No hate though)
Fabulous dancing - well done dancers !
Not forgetting the wonderful sounds of the pipes - thank you pipers.
This moves me to my very soul. I have always thought that I was more Irish than Scottish but thanks to Ancestry I found that I was twice as much Scots as Irish. Alba gu brath.
Man I love the highland games, I used to go to them all the time when I was younger to watch my cousins preform and just enjoy everything, you don't see much of this in my country (nz) until days like these, and those are the best days
10:53 - 13:23 What an amazing, poignant piece of work - so powerful. Like Spirit falling across the earth. Yes, like that! Bagpipes and drums brings the poet and lover out of us all. Many thanks for uploading and many thanks to the people in this video. Highland Games are amazing and so gratified to see it spread across the world.
whenever i hear scottish music, i cry because it reminds me of my seanair john who was born and bred in Fife and moved to Liverpool where he met and married my nan. i am so honoured to of scottish blood and my family uphold the scottish traditions my seanair taught us
Haven't been for a while, and boy do I miss it. Was once with a crack group of Scottish country dancers, was learning some Highland, played in a couple of trad bands ... just such a great scene, it really is.
Genial, saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾 gracias
Those two dancers close to the end; I honestly didn't know you'd also wear marine uniforms for the Scottish highland dance! Scotland is truly amazing! I wish that they come perform in the US, but...as always, what we wish for, they can't make so.
They are dancing the Scottish version of a Sailors Hornpipe. Glad you liked it!!!
Well presented, Braemar Media. Great to see male Highland dancers reclaiming some of the action, too. The Vale of Atholl Pipes and Drums sound polished as usual. A great setting, with Glenlyon and Fortingall only a hammer's throw away.
Thank you Alex.
Thought I recognized that Kenny Forbes. Highland Games in NH,USA he stayed with us back in 2013, the year the Scottish took over the hotel Lobby with drink till 4 in the morning. The staff still speak about to this day! Great guy!
I just love different European dances! I'm Italian descent. Long live Europe
Check out other dances too please, Latinas, Indian, Asians, like Thai, Chinese, Indonesian, , Balinese, etc. They are very rich and expressive too. Thank you.
@@anilbundhoo7486 Agreed. Belly dance, kathak, Kabuki, Samba, Salsa,Yangko, Tango, Tap dance...All very very rich in culture as well I hope you like it too :)! Long live the dancing souls
Traditional dancing in Gaelic countries is extremely good for health and fitness.
They still do this dance in Turkey where the keltoi originated and developed into the celtic in the British isle.
Kenyan Briton here !!!
Been hooked to the games from childhood ,eating pork 🥧 on the Nairobi int show tattoo bleachers !!
Tossing of the cabre was our family favourite !!!
The pipes n drums filtered through like the finest brew too !! Awesome sound and discipline ! For a small band ,there professionalism under great major was evident !!
Would do anything to bring this back around today !!!. I'm very well melanined, but my core is also so Scottish celt !!!!! Aye..,...,............
Any body here to reminisce, or perhaps start something with me !!!!!
Have lived in Perth , and have some serviced old bag pipes !!!
Would also like that full royal Caledonian quilt suit , sporran and all , for a mid aged lady !!!!!
I am in love. Absolutely and helplessly. With Scotland and it's marvelous culture. It was a very strange experience to learn about it today.. I am Russian, red-haired, I am a tall and quite fit woman. I always loved tartan pattern, I have a wonderful dress with it. Haggis? I got super obsessive cooking and eating "tripe" here, in Argentina. I would love to try haggis one day! I also enjoy listening to modern Scottish rock bands. I was in shock when I found out that formers of AC/DC were Scottish. I've been always told that it's an "Australian" thing. As it was something "magical" and "exotic". I love AC/DC, and for me it's Scottish. It's absolutely brilliant and BADASS! Also, a couple of months ago, I had to make a heavy decision in my life, to change my family name. I am Rona. I chose it because it means "might" and "song", and it's of Scottish origin. I went to read about Scotland. And I didn't know before that there was this incredible and beautiful Scottish part of me. I feel related and I feel much closer to Scottish people and their culture. I dream to see these events one day with my own eyes. Thank you very much for sharing this video, it was quite life-changing for me! ❤
Makes a heart burst with pride!
Good to see this film.
Brings back one of my fondest memories of dancing at these games 35 years ago aged 10.
It was a lovely evening as well
Ps .I’m still dancing
When I hear this I hold my head up high again , what ever got me down is gone , lady fowler
Brilliant must get to the highland games.
Beautiful and moving!
So nice!!! Thank you..regards from Spain 🌹🙋♀️
I love it when the women dance, such graceful poise. It is all about keeping the order and grace. Delightful
I lived in Adnbra between the years 2004 and 2006, I was five when I went there with my father, he went there for studying, and actually he got his master degree in computer programming from Adnbra university before we return back to our country (Saudi Arabia).
I had a greet friends, teachers and a lots of beautiful memories, one of the things that I will not forget is this music.
I think you Edinburgh. Adnbra in in Romania
I loved visiting Scotland. It's so beautiful.
I have such fond memories of Perthshire. Next time, I'll be there for the Games
That bagpipe dude with sunglasses on is true superstar of this event
I always find Scottish culture fascinating!
Fantastic!!! So Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
Another brilliantly entertaining video!
Many thanks.
SO GOOOODDDD
This was part of my husband's childhood, but not in Scotland.... in Australia!!! Thanks for the posting!!!
We were there! It was fantastic!
I LOVE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Absolutely beautiful!
Fabulous!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed this a lot but I got a big kick and had to smile around the 5:30 mark when the wee dancers came out. I was calling my wife to come and see the 2 foot tall dancers and I told her that they're the world famous Highland Cupcakes. They were all very nice, beautiful to see the kids participating. I was the kind of kid that ran everywhere and I would have been right in amongst the Jr. Harriers that ran the course immediately after the Cupcakes danced. I remember going to the games and fairs as a boy from Glasgow.
Music designed to scare the bejesus out of the enemy! Hooray for the Scots!
PLEASANTON CA SCOTTISH GAMES EVERY SEPTEMBER DID FLING IN EARLY 60S YOU GET GREAT LEGS SF CALDONIAN OLDER MAN TAUGHT US BEST FUN WE DANCED HALF TIME AT OUR FOOTBALL GAMES WITH OUR BAGPIPE BAND PIEDMONT CA
The competition was a fascinating insight of Scottish culture
OMG, I love it, I miss it, and I hate it... "Side back, front and back, toe and heel, high cut, change and down, pas du bas, etc"... And then I learned the pipes .. ugh... Even though I was pretty good at it, I still sucked. (Kids with Italian surnames aren't usually chosen to to be "the winners" in Scottish competitions, and that's ok... I still love it first.)
Quite great stuff these games! It's downright colorful and picturesque as to me!
Hi from bonny Ukraine!

Ricardo do research on covid please
Go live your life. It’s a virus with a 99.98% survival rate. Turn off the fear porn on tv and don’t live in fear. No one is guaranteed to see 2022. Live your best life now!
