FANS BEGIN STAKING OUT PRIME SPOTS AROUND THE GAME FIELD WELL BEFORE THE COMPETITION ACTUALLY BEGINS. IN THIS PHOTO YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE DARKENING SKIES, WHICH GRADUALLY GOT WORSE RESULTING IN RAIN.

The Tomintoul Highland Games Galleries and Videos


I attended the 182nd Tomintoul Highland Games on the late morning and early afternoon of Saturday, July 19, 2025.  It was a thoroughly enjoyable affair which I shall never forget.  For my blog post that includes my visit to the Games, look here.  Below you will find more of the photos and videos I took that memorable day.  I hope you enjoy them, as much as I enjoyed the Games!

I took four videos while I was at the Tomintoul Highland Games.  The first video was of the Clan Chieftain and the Pipe band parading onto the games field after marching from the village.  This video is published on my blog.  The next video I took was of the Pipe Band leaving the games field —  it is the first video on this page below.  The second video below is of the male Heavy Tossing the Caber competition while the third video features the female Heavy Ball and Chain Throwing competition.
