The Braemar Gathering
The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park
Saturday 7th September 2024
The First Saturday in September
For almost 200 years, the Braemar Gathering has been a highlight of the sporting calendar in Scotland. Nestled beneath bucolic, heather-strewn mountains, it is the most prominent and well-attended Highland games in the world, drawing vast crowds from across the globe.
Held at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park each September in the beautiful Cairngorms village of Braemar, it is the proud continuation of an ancient tradition of Gatherings here — one that can be traced back to the time of King Malcolm Canmore, over 900 years ago.
The Gathering has been run in its present form since 1832. Queen Victoria attended in 1848, and since then it has been regularly attended by the reigning Monarch and members of the British Royal Family. The Gathering’s most recent Royal Patron is King Charles III.
A Hundred Thousand Welcomes
Held on the first Saturday of September each year, the cherished Scottish tradition is not to be missed. Experience the one-day event which has been running since 1832 at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park in the beautiful Cairngorms village of Braemar.
