The Highland Games, Part 1 The Highland Games are a very old tradition. They were set up as way of bringing together Scotland’s historical families. They capture the cultural life and sports of this magical nation. They include the colours and symbols of a culture that almost disappeared, but is now stronger than ever. The Highland Games are a meeting place of strength, speed and celebration. Today on sports grounds, farmers’ fields and city parks across this country, they are Scotland’s very own Olympics! This is the village of Ceres. It is home to Scotland’s oldest Highland Games. For centuries the whole village has gathered for this annual summer celebration. For the people of Ceres, it’s a day as important as Hogmanay – New Year’s Eve in Scotland – or Christmas.
