PERTHSHIRE HIGHLAND GAMES

PERTHSHIRE Highland Games Association, with the support of what was then Perthshire Tourist Board, was formed in 2003 to support and assist the organisation and promotion of Highland Games in Perthshire and the surrounding areas.

Fifteen Highland Games covering the length and breadth of Perthshire in the heart of Scotland are now members.Leagues in the Heavy events and Highland Dancing run from May to September and a Junior Piping league is new for 2008.

Miller Hendry, Perthshire Solicitors and Estate Agents are generous in their sponsorship of our Highland Games. Since 2005 this sponsorship has covered the production of a promotional leaflet, coaching days during the winter for new and not so new athletes, as well as the League prize money for our top Heavy events athletes. The number of participating athletes has increased thanks to Miller Hendry and that can only be good for our Games.

The Highland Dancing League too is sponsored and approximately 20 Perthshire Premier standard dancers compete in this league each year.Many of our Member Games are also members of the Scottish Highland Games Association www.highlandgames-sga.com
