Plan ahead for your visit to Gourock Highland Games. There will be parking restrictions in place so public transport is the best option – Scotrail to Fort Matilda Station or McGill’s Buses to Battery Park.

Did you know that the tartan used in our Highland Games brand is Inverclyde's own tartan? The James Watt tartan was designed to commemorate the Greenock born engineer and inventor (1736-1819) who left such an important legacy.
We love it!

The first so called 'gathering' was held in the 11th century when King Malcolm Canmore arranged a ‘foot race’ up Craig Connish near Braemar as a way of selecting couriers.
Our Gourock Highland Games on 12 May will blend the traditional with lots of fun too!
