July 12 to 15, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games
celebrate Scottish culture, music, athletics and heritage
atop North Carolina’s most majestic peak. It’s one of
the largest gatherings of Scottish clans in the world:
the runner’s destination for “One of America’s Toughest
Marathons,” the site of the annual Highland Dancing
Atlantic International Championships. It’s the biggest
lineup of Celtic musicians — from traditional to contem-porary
— in the region, and home of an awe-inspiring,
SSAAA-sanctioned heavy athletics competition.
