The Ballater Highland Games are a historic annual celebration of Scottish culture traditionally honored by visits from the Royal Family. Its most famous attractions are the Heavy Field Events, which involve feats of strength like the dramatic Tossing the Caber (throwing a huge log), the gruelling Hill Race, lively Highland Dancing contests, and a full day of thrilling competitions, along with the loud and exciting music of pipe bands.
