A 170 year old tradition!
This Saturday are the Tomintoul Highland Games. Held on the 3rd Saturday of July for over a 170 years, this long held tradition will definitely be a blast! Showcasing traditional heavy and light events, highland dancing, piping competitions and lesser known entertainments like tilt the bucket and barrel racing.
