The Braemar Gathering

Off the Beaten Path

The Braemar Gathering is always held on the first Saturday in September at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park in Braemar. This iconic showcase of Highland Games and Scottish traditions offers the perfect opportunity for travelers to spot the royal family (the Queen attends the event every year) and to see the heather in bloom across the Highlands. We recommending booking a room at The Fife Arms in Braemar a year in advance.
