Newtonmore is situated in the Highlands of Scotland close to the Cairngorm
and Monadhliath Mountains , near the resort of Aviemore , some 70 miles
north of Perth and 45 miles south of Inverness on the A9 trunk road.
We have for your entertainment at least four Pipe Bands taking part in a spectacular festival of colour and sound. As usual we have the spectacular sights of the Clan Macpherson Annual Rally and March to the Games. We expect to welcome many clansmen from all parts of the globe. A
great crowd pleaser as always are the heavy events which consist of many
varied disciplines of strength and skill. The
highland dancing is another very popular attraction as the dancers perform
their intricate moves to the sound of the pipes. You will find at the top end of the field the lone pipers competing in the Pibroch and Strathspey and Reel all hoping to please the judges. Also on display are the athletes , young and old running sprints and middle distance races. The kids events are not to be missed. On the athletics front the Creag Dhubh hill race is the highlight of the day. The 2007 Newtonmore Highland Games are a day out not to be missed.
