You'll also be captivated by the grace and agility of Highland dancers performing their intricate routines. It’s a day for the whole family, with a lively atmosphere and activities to keep all ages entertained.
"The Killin Highland Games is the beating heart of our community's summer," says chairman Charlie Grant. "It’s a cherished occasion where generations come together, our heritage is proudly displayed, and local businesses thrive."
