🎉 Cowal Games weekend has arrived! 🎉

The Cowal Highland Gathering, affectionately known to us locals as the Cowal Games, has been part of Dunoon’s story for more than 130 years.

First held on 11th August 1894, the Gathering was the idea of local man Robert Cameron and welcomed around 2,000 people. What began as a small local festival has since grown into one of the best-known Highland Games in the world.

Today, visitors and competitors travel from across the globe to enjoy world-class Highland dancing, piping, athletics and a fantastic celebration of Scottish culture.

This weekend, Dunoon will once again come alive with the sound of the pipes, the excitement of the competitions and that unmistakable Cowal spirit!

We’re incredibly proud to have this historic celebration right here on our doorstep. Will you be joining the festivities this weekend? Or, if you’ve been to the Cowal Games before, what was your favourite part? 🎉
